Signs of Spring are fleeting in many areas of the country, but Daylight Savings Time tells us it’s coming soon, right? I know many of you are hoping that the first day of Spring (March 21st) will herald the end of this seemingly never-ending frigid winter, and I’m sending positive energy and today’s bright, sunny, Tangerine Turmeric Energy Smoothie your way!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Spring also means tangerines are in season – hooray!! You should start seeing them in the stores soon. I adore tangerines for their burst of sweetness and easy peeling – especially Ojai Pixie Tangerines which are a super sweet variety grown in nearby Ojai, California. They are a cross between a Kincy, King and Dancy Tangerine and have no pesky seeds, which always pleases the American consumer.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Two years ago, I was part of a fun and informative two-day tour with Melissa’s Produce\u00a0<\/a>of several Ojai tangerine growers and learned all kind of interesting facts about tangerines – like did you know all mandarins are tangerines, but not all tangerines are mandarins. Say what? Yes, Mandarins, Satsumas, Clementines, \u00a0Pixies, Honey, Halo, etc.\u00a0they’re all different tangerine varieties.<\/p>\n
