The Mandarin is a major source for Vitamin C, second only to the banana as a source of potassium. USDA scientific studies in 2008 documented that the Mandarin also contains a significant amount of synephrine, a natural decongestant.   Decongestants are beneficial in the relief of symptoms of allergies and the common cold. Enjoy a Mandarin for a truly delicious and healthy treat!
