The Oversized Mandarin Orange I Love
Normally, I wouldn’t go bananas over an orange, but trust me, this isn’t your garden-variety citrus. It’s a fruit extravaganza that stands in stark contrast to those teeny, tart kumquats (that someone told me I would love) – definitely not my cup of tea.
Once someone hyped those tinny tart kumquats like they were the best thing ever…and then I tasted them and I just couldn’t get them out of my mouth fast enough. Conversely, these mandarin oranges are triple the size of traditional mandarins and were and are a pleasant treat, so I am sharing them with you!
Imagine the best of tastes packed into an oversized package; that’s our hero, the Sumo Citrus orange. Its arrival couldn’t be more perfectly timed.
Just as we all start our ‘New Year, New You’ resolutions, here comes this jumbo, health-packed citrus, bursting onto the scene in winter. It’s like the universe is giving us a delicious, nutritious nudge towards healthier eating and lifestyle revamping. And let me tell you, it’s a mega-welcome nudge!
Now to be completely transparent I am going to get this first point out of the way, which is actually not a point at all once you taste one of these, but here are the facts!
The Price Tag On These Winter Only Oranges Is Bigger But…
Why the sumo citrus oranges are worth every penny even though they are pricier? Let’s talk turkey… or oranges, in this case. Yes, they’re pricier than your average citrus, but oh boy, are they worth it.
First, before we even share a list, you’ll want to know that the winter oranges are available for only 4 months a year and that is in the winter season (that alone is motivation to go buy the elitist Sumo citrus orange).
But you are still not convinced that this Sumo citrus Orange is for you since you are still reading, here are more reasons you’ll need to know to truly appreciate this precious orange.
- Time-Intensive Cultivation: These mandarin mammoths don’t just pop up overnight. It takes time, patience, and a lot of TLC to grow them to their impressive size. That’s a lot of waiting for a whole lot of goodness.
- Flavor That Packs a Punch: Imagine the sweetest, juiciest orange you’ve ever had, and then amplify that by ten. That’s what you’re biting into with these bad boys.
- Rare and Seasonal Delight: Available only in winter and for just four months, these oversized mandarin oranges are like the elusive unicorns of the citrus world. Get them while you can! (yep I shared that point one more time because you don’t want to miss the flavor)
Sumo Citrus Mandarins Provide The Ultimate Peel Challenge
Here’s a fun twist: these oranges are insanely easy to peel. Challenge yourself to peel it in one go – it’s half the fun of eating these oversized mandarin oranges.
Plus, it’s a great party trick to show off to your friends that you can unpeel an oversized mandarin orange in just one go!
Taste Explosion: Sweet, Seedless, and Oh So Satisfying
Oh Emm Gee, let’s talk taste. These oversized mandarin oranges are so sweet it’s like nature’s candy – and absolutely NO SEEDS.
That’s right, none of those pesky little interrupters to your juicy joyride. This is a reason I love the winter oranges (or oversized mandarin oranges as they are properly referred to) because seeds IMO suck.
There are a lot of oranges out there that claim “seedless” but then you bite into one of those little gems and it’s like a thorn on a rose stem, it’s there. And then I refuse to eat them.
Imagine this: In the great citrus heavens, there’s a vigilant Seed Angel who’s been working overtime before winter hits. She’s been in a legendary tussle with the notorious Orange Satan Seed, and guess what? Our hero emerged victorious! That’s right, she’s meticulously beaten every single pesky seed out of these big-ass, easy-to-peel mandarins. It’s like a citrusy epic where the good guy – or in this case, the good angel – wins, ensuring we get nothing but seedless, heavenly goodness in every bite.
Now you understand there are zero seeds in these lovely citrus treats, let’s keep going on to why you’ll appreciate the Sumo Citrus Mandarins even more!
Urgent Message: Winter Only Oranges “Get Them NOW!“

Non-GMO and Why It Matters
Here’s the cherry (or should I say orange?) on top: they’re NON-GMO. In a world where we’re increasingly conscious about what we put in our bodies, knowing these oranges are as natural as they come is a big deal. It’s about enjoying pure, unadulterated goodness.
Where to Find the Oversized Mandarin Orange
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Where do you find these juicy giants? My go-to spot is none other than Trader Joe’s. But why settle for my word when you can find out for yourself?
I should mention that I have been able to purchase these by the piece and by the sack (at Trader Joe’s) but don’t get all upset if you don’t have a TJ near you, instead try the Citrus Sumo Finder and find out where these beauties have been hiding in plain sight all around you.
Then, get in your car (sweatpants, hoodie, no makeup necessary) just go go go to the store and get them, before the oversized mandarin orange season ends or before someone buys all of them before you!
