New citrus variety Tainong No. 1 Jinxiang, do you know it? Japan has the small tangerine Fuzhou Mi; a citrus grower in Miaoli, Taiwan, China spent 7 years on research and last year successfully improved Ponkan and Fuzhou Mi, growing an extra-mini bite-sized tangerine, smaller than an egg and bigger than a 50-yuan coin. It tastes sweeter than ordinary Ponkan, and some children can pop 4 bite-sized tangerines into their mouth in one bite. Today a typhoon hit, and the grower hurried to harvest them.
Placed next to an ordinary tangerine, the bite-sized tangerine looks like it is next to a giant. On the scale it weighs only 3 to 4 grams. Measured with a ruler, its diameter is about 5 cm, smaller than an egg and only a little bigger than a 50-yuan coin. This special mini variety is called Yikou Ju Fenggan. Grower surnamed Huang: "Because it is ready to eat as soon as the tail part turns red, it is called Yi Dian Hong (One Red Dot)."
Peel open a bite-sized tangerine and inside there are segment after segment of flesh. With these extra-mini small tangerines, a child can eat several in one bite. Reporter: "Little brother, how many can you eat in one bite?" Member of the public: "4."
Member of the public: "I am elderly and my teeth are sensitive to sourness. This kind is great, not sour and still has tangerine flavor."
The grower couple surnamed Huang spent 7 years improving Ponkan and Fuzhou Mi to grow the Taiwan bite-sized tangerine Yikou Ju Fenggan. In fact, Japan also has this kind of small tangerine. When imported into Taiwan, China, it is sold in premium fruit shops and is called Fuzhou Mi. A box of only 15 costs as much as 1000 yuan. Vendor: "Some customers buy 30-40 boxes at a time."
Customer: "It tastes more tender and sweet, and you can eat it together with the peel."
Japanese bite-sized tangerines are air-freighted to Taiwan, China, from Ehime Prefecture, and it is emphasized that they can be eaten together with the peel. One fruit averages more than 60 yuan. In Taiwan, China, a box of 70 sells for 500 yuan, less than 8 yuan each, far cheaper. Freshly picked, the peel has a rich fragrance, and after peeling them your hands are full of scent.
