If you’re one of those people who are crazy about everything that’s cute and tiny, then maybe Mandarin oranges are the kind of treat you're looking for! Native to south-eastern Asia and the Philippines, mandarins are smaller than your common orange, and are oblate, rather than spherical. Besides, they have a less sour, as well as sweeter and stronger taste. As a matter of fact, the dried peel of this fruit is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat abdominal distension, enhance digestion, and to reduce phlegm. Mandarins have also been used in ayurveda (traditional medicine of India).
