Vitamin C is required for the health of the skin, immune system and bones. Eating vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruit may decrease the risk of osteoarthritis, cancer, heart disease and hypertension. The vitamin C in Cuties degrades rapidly with exposure to heat, light and air. Maximize the amount of vitamin C you get from Cuties by storing the fruit in a cool, dark location. Use Cuties within three to four days of purchase and consume the fruit as soon as possible after peeling.
Cuties are rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals. The Cutie brand name refers to two types of commercially available mandarin oranges: Murcott mandarins, which are sold between February and April, and clementine mandarins, which are sold between November and January. Both types of Cuties are seedless and contain no fat or cholesterol.
