Funny enough I was eating a Sumo as I came across your comment. They are certainly very tasty, but for the price (which is high at least here in Ohio) I much prefer the tartness of a traditional in-season California satsuma.
- throwup238 7mo agoAll the California satsumas I can find here in California have all converged on the dekopon/Sumo taste and form. It’s confusing because the satsumas on Google images are still mostly the round ones without the bumps. The prices vary wildly. At the end of the season I can find them in some ethnic grocers for $0.33 a pound while right now they’re $1.50-2 a pound. When they were first coming out years ago they were $4 a piece at Trader Joes.
- hinkley 7mo agoJapan does have the bumpy ones. Clementines tend to be more thin-skinned.
- bitshiftfaced 7mo agoThere are dekopon trees that give fruit with the bump and without the bump. You may be finding the ones without the bump. But satsumas have a different enough flavor that you should be able to tell. Also, satsumas are smaller, more oblong, and tend to have a thinner skin.
- hinkley 7mo agoI highly recommend trying a cold Sumo. Refrigerated sumos are a bit of an aranciata vibe. Sumos are bright and brightly flavored fruit often have a better experience when chilled.
- bitshiftfaced 7mo agoIt depends on the season, but they tend to have too much acid at first. Leaving them in the fridge reduces the acid over time improves the flavor profile. But really you should refrigerate all citrus.
- hinkley 7mo agoNah. Mandarins I prefer at room temperature. But I refrigerate apples because I like the crunch.
