Introduction
Iwasaki Satsuma is a type of mandarin orange, specifically a cultivar of the Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu). It's prized for its excellent flavour and ease of peeling, making it a popular choice among citrus enthusiasts. The fruit originated in Japan but is now cultivated in various regions worldwide. It's commonly enjoyed fresh, as a snack. Iwasaki Satsuma is typically small to medium-sized, round to oval in shape, and has a thin, easy-to-peel skin somewhere between green, yellow, and orange. The skin can sometimes have a slightly rough texture. Inside, it contains seedless, juicy segments that are often a vibrant orange colour.
