Dekopon is distinctive due to its sweet taste, large size and the large protruding bump on the top of the fruit.
Originally a brand name, "Dekopon" has become a genericized trademark and it is used to refer to all brands of the fruit the generic name is shiranuhi or shiranui ( 不知火). It is a hybrid between Kiyomi and ponkan (Nakano no. I also often ask you to guess what it is and then the next week I follow up with the correct answer.Dekopon ( デコポン) is a seedless and sweet variety of satsuma orange. So each week I share a new food that my family tried, how we liked it, and how I cooked it. It also became a fun way to share new and unusual foods with my readers.
#SUMO TANGERINE CALORIES SERIES#
What Is It Wednesday is a series that I started back in 2011 as a way to encourage my family to try new things. If you are like my daughter and like your citrus tart and strong, these are worth trying, but you might agree with my daughter and prefer an orange.įor those of you that have had Sumo Tangerines I would love to hear what you thought of them. So I think if you are like me, and are not a huge citrus fan, then I think you will probably like Sumo Tangerines. She said they were too sweet and too juicy, and she would much rather eat an orange or some other citrus that did not cost as much. My daughter though, who is a huge citrus lover, and loves sour things, did not like these at all. I could easily eat several of these in one sitting all by myself. They were also very juicy and I thought the texture was great. These however I loved! They were so much sweeter than most other citrus. But when it comes to oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, etc. Most citrus is one of those things I can take it or leave it. I like it occasionally and I will eat it here and there, but I don’t think I have ever eaten an entire orange by myself. I absolutely loved them and will buy them again. The Sumo Tangerines got mixed reviews from my family. Hopefully though the more popular they become the less expensive they will be. I will say though that they are a bit more expensive than most citrus. Sumo Tangerines are now grown on farms in central California and are available in the US. They are big, juicy, sweet, have great texture, and are easy to peel. Thanks to a simple Google search I was able to find out exactly what they are.Īccording to the Sumo Citrus website Sumo Tangerines were developed in the 1970’s when a citrus grower from Japan set out to develop a fruit which would combine the best of the easy-to-peel Japanese Satsuma with the big, juicy, sweet oranges from California.Īnd although I have never had a Japanese Satsuma, I think he got these just right. Now most of you are probably wondering what a Sumo Tangerine is and when I bought this I was wondering the same thing. So if you guessed Sumo Tangerine you got it right.
Last week quite a few of you guessed tangelo or Ugli for the item, but a couple of you guessed Sumo Tangerine.
And that is exactly what I want to do with What Is It Wednesdays. Not that I am trying to find things that are hard to guess, but when I share an item that only a few readers know about, it means that I am helping the rest of you learn something new. Last week’s item ended up being a little bit of a hard one.
I am really looking forward to sharing new foods with all of you. I am so glad that you all are excited about What Is It Wednesday coming back.
