Citrus is one of the most popular and widely grown fruit crops in the world. Citrus and its products are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre that are essential for the overall nutritional well-being. Among the most commonly cultivated types, oranges account for more than half of world citrus production and are the most widely traded citrus fruit followed by tangerines, lemons and grapefruits. World citrus production and export have grown steadily over the past three decades, although at a slower pace than competing fruits such as mangoes, avocadoes and melons.

Egyptian Mandarins “Fremont” are a type of mandarin orange that is grown in Egypt and other parts of the world. They are named after John C. Fremont, an American explorer who is credited with discovering the fruit in the 1840s.

Fremont mandarins are small to medium-sized with a thin, easy-to-peel skin that is bright orange in color. They have a sweet and juicy flesh that is low in acid and has a rich and distinctive flavor.

Fremont mandarins are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, which can help protect against cellular damage and inflammation.
