Comments: Mandarin oranges are native to southern China, where they are
eaten primarily as fresh fruit. Canned mandarin oranges are common in the
United States. Eating citrus fruit whole, instead of just drinking its
juice, provides important fiber, especially soluble fiber which is linked
to lowering blood cholesterol levels.
