TANGERINE FLOWER
This creation was done by my daughter Isabella! She was able to put this beautiful flower together, just by playing around with the tangerine before she started eating it. It’s a fun and easy idea to make for kids! Be certain that the Tangerine Flower will grab their attention more than just regular slices of tangerine laying on a plate or bowl. And you need to peel the entire tangerine anyways, so why not arranging it like this on a plate?! You can even add a few berries (or small grapes, or even a strawberry) at the center to make it look like a real flower!
You might already know this, but its important to reinforce that tangerines are full of vitamin C. A medium tangerine, weighing about 100 grams, has 26.7mg of vitamin C. You can also benefit from water intake as you eat this citrus fruit because it contains about 85% of water. Despite being a very refreshing fruit and appropriate for Summer, tangerines are in season from November through January. So if you want to enjoy them in season, you also get an extra boost of vitamin C during the cold weather.
So next time you are peeling your colorful, bright, full of water and vitamin C fruit, remember to make this easy and special arrangement! It will not only taste good, it will look delicious!
