Darling Dekos are premium, Chilean-grown Dekopon mandarins. Renowned for their exceptional sweetness and distinctive flavor, Dekopons are widely regarded as one of the best tasting citrus varieties in the world.
If you’ve never heard the name, here’s the quick version: a Dekopon is a mandarin with a fun little top-knot on top, seedless segments, and some of the sweetest, juiciest flavor you’ll find in a citrus fruit. The specialty variety got its start in Japan, where growers spent years perfecting it before it made its way around the world.
Chile offers one of the best climates in the Southern Hemisphere for growing citrus, with ideal conditions for producing high-quality Dekopons. Its unique growing season allows LGS to bring fresh, flavorful Dekopons to U.S. shoppers during the late summer and fall, providing an additional window of availability.
Store for about 2 to 7 days in an open air container away from direct sunlight.
Store in a mesh bag or loose inside the fruit drawer for about 1 to 2 weeks.
