Description
Ehime Jelly Orange from Sichuan, China – Premium Late-Season Citrus
The Ehime Jelly Orange, also known as Ehime No. 38, has become one of the most admired late-ripening mandarins in China. Grown in the fertile valleys and mild subtropical climate of Sichuan Province, this variety inherits the best of both its parent lines: the sweetness of Kiyomi Tangor and the refreshing flavor of Ponkan Mandarin.
Unique Characteristics
-
Appearance: Medium to large in size, round to slightly oval, with a smooth, glossy skin that is easy to peel.
-
Flavor: Exceptionally juicy, tender flesh with a jelly-like texture, which is why it is called “Jelly Orange.” The taste is sweet, rich, and low in acidity, making it suitable for both children and adults.
-
Aroma: A refreshing, elegant citrus fragrance that enhances the eating experience.
-
Nutrition: Rich in Vitamin C, dietary fiber, and natural antioxidants.
Harvest and Market Season
In Sichuan, Ehime Jelly Oranges ripen from late December to the following February, making them one of the best choices for the winter citrus market. While many early mandarins fade out by December, this premium late-season variety ensures supply continues through the New Year period, which is highly valued for both domestic consumption and export.
Why Choose Sichuan Ehime Jelly Orange
-
Superior Growing Environment: The mountainous terrain and long sunshine hours in Sichuan give the fruit high sugar levels and balanced acidity.
-
Extended Freshness: Naturally thicker skin and excellent storability allow the fruit to stay fresh longer during transport, ideal for export markets.
-
Premium Taste Experience: Many consumers describe it as the “dessert among oranges” due to its jelly-like flesh and sweetness that rivals imported high-end citrus.
-
Market Value: Because of its late maturity and unique texture, Ehime Jelly Orange often commands a higher price than ordinary mandarins, and it is widely chosen as a gift fruit during Chinese New Year.
Conclusion
The Sichuan-grown Ehime Jelly Orange is not just another citrus fruit—it is a symbol of quality, sweetness, and elegance in China’s winter fruit market. With its jelly-like pulp, outstanding flavor, and perfect harvest season, it has become a favorite for both domestic consumers and international buyers looking for high-quality late-season mandarins from China.
