Ripe Now! Tangors I Lunar New Year, Superbowl, Valentine's Day, oh my! Here's what to look out for at our markets this week

Tangors are not a well-known citrus variety, but they are a delicious one. We just discovered this tangerine and sweet orange hybrid, and were instantly drawn to its fiery reddish orange rind; pebbled, easy-to-peel skin; and relative lack of pith that leaves all the more room for its sweet juice.

Tomorrow, February 10, marks the Lunar New Year, a celebration of spring’s arrival, and our entry into the Year of the Dragon. Gift citrus like tangors this week to spread luck and prosperity, and buy that citrus at the farmers' market to extend that fortune to California farmers as well. You can find the Temple variety at the Flying Disc Ranch stall on Tuesdays and Saturdays, alongside dates and other novelty citrus varieties.
