Born and crossbred by UC Riverside citrus scientists, Gold Nuggets might be the world’s tastiest tangerines. With a slightly bumpy rind, these treasures are easy-to-peel, rich, and sweet. These California gems are exceptionally juicy, averaging a 50% juice content, and they are seedless! These tangerines are truly a sweet experience from start to finish.
Averaging between a 15%-17.5% Brix, a scale used to measure the sweetness of fruits, the experts agree: Gold Nugget Tangerines are considered by professional taste panels to be one of the best-flavored citruses in the world!
