In mid-June, near the half-birthday of Noble Juicy Crunch, Tracy of the FoodWineSunshine blog answers the question: Which Florida tangerine is the sweetest?

Check out FoodWIneSunshine blog on Noble Juicy Crunch, pick up a recipe and perhaps some wine tips.

Here’s a blog excerpt:

Are Juicy Crunch a new variety of tangerine?

Well…that all depends on how you view it. Juicy Crunch has been a labor of love for 40 years. You read that right…40 YEARS. 40 years ago the Roe family (the owners of Noble Citrus in Winter Haven, Florida since 1926) decided that they could create (by breeding) the best tangerine on the market.

Tracy loves creating family-friendly recipes with a good sip of wine. In her words, “I’m passionate about sharing healthy food and sunny advice.” Tracy toured Noble Citrus’s Juicy Crunch groves this past growing season.

Like a holiday–Juicy Crunch only comes once a year. Noble Juicy Crunch is only available December thru February.

The article goes on to say that growth of the U.S. tangerine market coincides with the launch of marketing campaigns for easy-peel seedless mandarins…”
