Mandarins aren't on the list but it makes you wonder. I miss my mandarins but want my health!


I tried to buy local but they were sold out of Okanagan mandarins.

Urbane is a major league sexist. How dare he be so patriarchal by calling them mandarins. They are now called persondarins.

Looked in a couple of boxes of Japanese Oranges in Save-On today. They did not look very appealing.

^^"ORGANIC" is a total rip. Who investigates and traces the history of the farms? NOBODY!! Pay money and you get your 'organic'label and a license to rip off ignorant consumers!!

The ones I picked up at Super Store are great - heavy for their size, juicy and sweet.

I but organic because there is often cases where the oranges have been dyed. With a kid with a food dye sensitivities organic is a safer option.

However I prefer to buy local and BC over organic. FYI Bought organic oranges for almost the same prices an non-organic.
