Salty Mandarin, also known as salty citrus, is a folk food therapy popular in southern China and Hong Kong. It is made by cleaning the Mandarin, adding a large amount of salt, sealing it and storing it for pickling. After several months to a year, the salty Mandarin is made.
Salty Mandarin are often regarded by the public as a folk remedy for relieving throat discomfort. Whenever you have a cough or sore throat, take out these salty kumquats and drink them with water. The taste is sweet, salty and sour, and people believe that it can relieve sore throats.
It usually takes about half a year to pickle salted Mandarin using traditional methods, but people generally believe that the longer the pickling time, the better the effect, so there are many salted kumquats that have been pickled for more than decades.
[Food supervision: Never use New Year’s oranges 🍊]
Every Spring Festival, many people will put one or two pots of tangerines at home. In addition to decorating the home, the main reason is that "ju" (「桔」) (orange) and "ji" (lucky) 「吉」are homophones, which gives people a sense of good luck. A pot of tangerines with many fruits and golden color, set against green leaves, gives people a feeling of wealth, so it is very popular. Most Mandarin will be discarded after being left for a period of time. Many people believe that they can be picked from the trees and made into salted oranges. Before medicine became so popular, many families prepared salted oranges to use as "doorkeepers". However, in order to get these agricultural products on the market in a timely manner and to make it convenient for customers to display them at home until the end of the New Year, they are sprayed with a large amount of preservatives, chemicals and preservatives, some of which are harmful to the body. Therefore, very few people use these ingredients to make salted citrus fruits now.
Since flower growers often treat New Year Mandarin oranges as ornamental plants rather than edible fruits, they will use more pesticides on the oranges, which is why there are more pesticide residues on them. Since New Year’s oranges are usually declared for import and export as ornamental plants, the government’s health quarantine department will treat them as flowers and will not subject them to stricter inspections as edible plants. Therefore, this should be considered before using Nian oranges to pickle salty Mandarin.
In addition, we are pursuing health, so we hope that our customers can use citrus fruits grown in our local organic farm. We put all our efforts and efforts into every detail to ensure that our customers not only get the effects and benefits, but also protect their health.

【Effects of Mandarin Orange】
The scientific name of citrus is Citrus reticulata, which is the fruit of plants such as kumquat of the Rutaceae family. Citrus is mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. It is an evergreen shrub or small tree, and the fruit matures around December. Citrus is pungent, sweet and warm in nature. It has the effects of regulating qi, relieving depression, resolving phlegm and sobering up. In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen 李時珍《本草綱目》called citrus "sour, warm, sweet, and non-toxic. It can relieve gas, clear the diaphragm, quench thirst, and eliminate odor. The peel is especially good." As early as in ancient times, people have used citrus fruits for food therapy. For example, Liu Xun's "Lingbiao Luyi" 劉恂《嶺表錄異》pointed out that "wild tangerines are as big as pumpkins, or as big as bullets, and have green leaves on small trees. They bear fruit in summer and ripen in winter. They have a thin golden skin and taste sour, which can break the qi. People store them with the branches, and they are especially delicious when added to vinegar."
Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C and vitamin P, and have therapeutic effects on maintaining blood vessel function. In addition, they are rich in carotene, protein, inorganic salts, zinc, iron and other trace elements, and have high nutritional value. Therefore, citrus fruits are one of the beneficial fruits for people with arteriosclerosis. If you want to eat citrus fruits, just wash them thoroughly with boiling water and eat them with the skin, because the peel of the citrus fruits contains a lot of vitamin C. If you remove it, not only will the efficacy be reduced, but you will also lose a lot of vitamin C, thus reducing its therapeutic effect. Citrus fruits pickled with salt are called salty citrus fruits. They are effective in treating sore throat, cough and hoarseness caused by colds. When eating, just cut the salty citrus fruits into several pieces, brew them with boiling water, and drink them when the water is warm. This food therapy has the effects of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, expectorant, cough relieving and voice opening. This diet therapy has the effects of reducing inflammation, relieving pain, removing phlegm and relieving cough, and opening the voice.
[Production of salty citrus]
The method of making salted oranges is very simple. Just pick the oranges (but don't tear the skin), wash them with clean water, then rinse them with boiling water, wipe the oranges dry with a clean cloth, and place them on a colander in a cool place to dry. When wrinkles appear on the orange peel, you can use a glass bottle or tile container, first put a layer of salt on it, then put a layer of oranges on it, and then sprinkle another layer of salt on it, and hide the oranges in the salt. Keep putting them layer by layer, and after a period of time, they become salty oranges. In addition, there is another simple method, which is to soak the dried oranges in hot water, then dry the oranges, and add salt to pickle them as mentioned above.

🥘 Recipe:
How to use
When using, people usually take out two or three salty kumquats from the bottle and mix them with hot water before drinking.
Effectiveness
It is generally believed that salt has a bactericidal effect and can help with sore throats, while sour hot water can help increase saliva secretion and moisturize the throat. Since there are many causes of sore throat, especially influenza, sore throat caused by viruses often invades other parts of the body. Therefore, it is not recommended to only use folk remedies and delay treatment.
🔅 Notes:
Although salty citrus has so many therapeutic effects, it is still a folk method and cannot replace the treatment of Chinese and Western medicine.
