Mandarins lately

[Anonymous]

The last few weeks, I have found my bags of mandarins so uneven. Let's say out of 8 oranges, 3 are dried out, 1 is moldy, and 4 are ok.
Obviously, time to move on to other fruit, but am I alone here? What do you do in this case? Take things back to the store (I've never done that, and probably not worth my time, but I find this so annoying!)

It’s because they are out of season and have been in storage

This is why we just stopped buying the bags and only by single mandarins. Always a sad time of year! I just ate my last good one this morning, so will hunt again for a few more later this week

You need to buy produce when it's in season.

They have to be firm when you buy them. I squeeze every one I can through the netting. But you are right, more dried and moldy ones than usual.

Out if season, so time to move on.

I find the bags of most items are not worth the savings.

It's obviously not in season.

Better in colder months.

Switch to melon, strawberries, grapes. Apples and bananas are always good if you need portable fruits.

Get clementine instead, both Halos and Cuties are great.

They are clementines and they are out of season. They are a winter fruit.

It’s strawberry season.

Not the season.

Time for berries.
