Ponkan oranges

　　  The Shangping Ponkan oranges are tall, flat-round or conical in shape, weighing 120–150g each. They contain 12–15% soluble solids, with orange-yellow or orange-red rinds that are glossy. The peels are loose and easy to peel, and the central column is large and hollow. The pulp is plump, crisp and tender, very juicy and easy to separate from the membrane, offering a well-balanced sweet and sour taste. They are highly resistant to storage and are of premium quality, often hailed as the “king of citrus.” These oranges are rich in vitamins and minerals, which help reduce blood cholesterol, break down fats, and eliminate harmful heavy metals and radioactive elements accumulated in the body.
