What it is
These are sweet and juicy mandarin orange segments packed in their own natural juice. The juice is 100% pure orange juice, meaning no added sugars or artificial sweeteners are used. This makes them a simple and refreshing fruit option. The segments are easy to eat and have a bright, citrusy flavor. They are a convenient way to enjoy the taste of fresh oranges without the peeling and mess.
How people cook with it

- In fruit salads
- As a topping for yogurt
- In baked goods
To use, simply open the can and drain the juice if desired, or use the juice as part of your recipe. The segments can be added directly to fruit salads, layered into parfaits with yogurt and granola, or used as a bright topping for cakes and muffins. They can also be incorporated into savory dishes, like a light chicken salad, for a burst of citrus flavor. Their tender texture makes them easy to incorporate into many preparations.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike mandarin oranges packed in syrup, these are preserved in 100% juice. This means they retain a more natural orange flavor and are not overly sweet. The juice itself is also a more wholesome liquid for packing compared to sugar-based syrups.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, transfer any unused mandarin orange segments to a separate container. Cover the container tightly and refrigerate. It is best to consume the remaining fruit within a few days to ensure freshness and quality. Avoid storing opened cans in the refrigerator.
