The Miyagawa mandarin is native to Japan, prized for its early ripening, thin skin, and juicy, orange flesh, often seedless. It is known for its sweet yet tart flavor and its distinctive skin, which remains green even when ripe, or turns yellowish or orange depending on the climate. Rich in vitamin C, the Miyagawa is eaten as an early fruit and lends itself to a variety of culinary uses, in addition to offering nutritional benefits such as good fiber and potassium content.
