What the Heck Is a Sumo Mandarin Orange? [Video]
I happened across the strangest looking orange at the grocery store the other day: the sumo mandarin orange. I didn't buy it because it looked so different.
Robin Walker with United Supermarkets told me it was a sumo mandarin orange. Well, the sumo name certainly fits. It looks like a little orange sumo wrestler!
I tasted it and was absolutely blown away. It is tart like a mandarin orange and sweet like a navel orange. And it's really juicy and super easy to peel, too!
So I guess you learn something new everyday. Next time I won't be such a fruit snob and won't judge a fruit by its cover. (Unless it's that smelly Asian Durian fruit, which is said to smell like rotting flesh. No, not ever, ever, ever will that eaten by me!)
