1. How many years until Shatang mandarins bear fruit

Shatang mandarin trees generally begin setting fruit in the third year after planting, and enter their peak production period in the fifth year. If cultivation and management are improper, they can only live for more than 10 years, or even shorter.

2. Dietary taboos for Shatang mandarins

1. For people with a cold or wind-cold, eating too many will worsen the condition.

2. Do not discard the orange pith when eating mandarins. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that orange pith can unblock collaterals and resolve phlegm, and soothe qi and invigorate blood. It is beneficial for patients with chronic bronchitis and coronary heart disease. Orange pith contains a substance called rutin, which can keep blood vessels normally elastic and dense, reduce the fragility and permeability of blood vessel walls, and prevent cerebral hemorrhage in hypertensive patients and retinal hemorrhage in diabetic patients.

3. Do not eat more than three mandarins a day. Eating too many is harmful to the mouth and teeth. At the same time, mandarins contain carotene; excessive intake can cause yellow staining on the skin of areas with abundant subcutaneous fat, such as the palms, fingers, soles, and edges of the nostrils.

4. Do not eat oranges and radishes together. Eating them together can induce goiter. In addition to radishes, they also should not be eaten with milk, otherwise the fruit acids in oranges will coagulate the protein in milk and affect absorption; in severe cases, symptoms such as abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur. Therefore, oranges should be eaten one hour after drinking milk.

Shatang mandarins, especially those produced in Huangtian Town, Sihui, are particularly fresh and extremely sweet, with no residue and a delicate mouthfeel, making them truly excellent products. They are rich in vitamin C, calcium, dietary fiber, a small amount of protein, fat, and abundant glucose, etc.
