Mangoes,
Mangosteens and Lychees.
Both mangoes and lychees have
a long and noble history
in Chinese cuisine.
In particular, lychees have been
valued by successions of Chinese
emperors for their
sweetness. The lychee
is native to the southern Chinese
provinces of Fukien and Kwangtung.
According to legend, when
courtiers first stumbled
upon the lychee, they thought
the fruit was so delicious
that they rushed back in triumph
to display their
discovery to Emperor Han.
4 - Tangerines
There are different types
of tangerines but the most well known
are clementines and Japanese
Satsumas. The clergyman Pierre
Clement crossed a mandarin
and an orange and the
outcome was a seedless mandarin
with a looser skin thus
easier to peel: the clementine.
The satsuma is a
crossing from Japan. Some
tangerines can easily be
selected in the store because
they have a strong and
sweet smell. If you find such
tangerines buy them,
you will not be disappointed.
