Growing up mandarins were one of my favorite fruits. We would buy a large 10 lb. bag from some farmer selling them out of the back of his truck on the side of the road. You could only find them for a short time each winter. When we moved to the Bay Area we never saw them in stores or on the streets. There were tangerines but no mandarins. All of a sudden this year in Utah all the stores have been selling these. They looked like a mandarin but I was skeptical since they were called clementines. On the back of the bag I noticed it said "Mandarins From California". Yeah! I have been eating these little babies like candy. Mandarins are no longer just a Chico thing.

So glad you got a bag of good ones. We have been buying them for the past few years by the dozens and this year we can't get a good bag for anything!
