If you come across sour tangerines, don't be upset. There are simple methods that will help make the fruit sweet, even if it is not yet ripe.
This is reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to Tsn.
This is especially true because tangerines are often picked green so that they can be better preserved during transportation.
Two ways to make sour tangerines sweeter
Quick Method
To quickly fix the situation, use a microwave. Place the tangerines inside and turn the device on full power for 30 seconds. This method also works for oranges and grapes. However, be prepared for the fact that the taste of the fruit may change slightly – the middle will be slightly cooked.
Ripening on the windowsill.
If you bought sour tangerines and are ready to wait, try the ripening method in sunlight. Place the fruit on a windowsill that is on the sunny side of the house. Leave them there for three days. During this time, the tangerines will become more ripe and sweet, improving their taste naturally. This method is ideal for fruit bought in bulk.
