À propos de cet ingrédient
The Satsuma mandarin — Japan's most-cultivated citrus by volume (~40% of all Japanese citrus production). Wakayama, Ehime, Shizuoka, and Kumamoto dominate. Distinguished by seedlessness, easy-peel rind, and refreshing sweet-tart balance. Beyond fresh fruit, mikan peel (chinpi) is a classical Kampo herbal raw material with long medicinal history; the peel is also extracted for cosmetic applications. The 'Satsuma' name reflects the variety's introduction to the West from Satsuma province (Kagoshima) in the late 19th century.
