How to eat mandarinquats
Wash the mandarinquats and then slice in half or into slices and discard the seeds. Enjoy the citrus, rind, and all. We do compost the top as well as it can be a bit tougher.

Mandarinquats are best stored at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Once cut refrigerate and enjoy within 2 days.
How to pick mandarinquats
You want to pick mandarinquats that are shiny and firm, not squishy.
Can you freeze mandarinquats?
You can, but it’s not suggested. If you stocked up on a sale we would reserve this for smoothies only and seeds removed.
How to enjoy mandarinquats
We like to enjoy them sliced, in salads, in desserts, drinks, sorbets, jellies & jam, and you can even candy them!
