Sai Nam Phueng tangerines (som sai nam phueng).

Som sai nam phueng is one of the best-known Thai tangerines. The skin is thin, smooth and glossy, golden to orange, and it slips off easily in your hand. The segments are tender and very juicy, with a sweet taste and just enough acid to keep it fresh. The name points to the sweetness: nam phueng is the Thai word for honey.

Ways to use it

• Peel and eat the segments as they are.
• Squeeze a few for fresh juice, a glass needs several fruit.
• Add segments to a fruit plate or a green salad with a light dressing.
• Squeeze a little juice into a dressing for a grilled chicken or fish salad.
• Grate a little of the washed zest into a cake or cookie dough.

Storing it

Citrus doesn't ripen any further once it's picked, so choose fruit that feels heavy for its size and keep it in a cool, dry spot out of the sun. Eat it within a few days for the best taste. Wash the skin under running water before you peel it, so whatever is on the outside doesn't reach the segments by way of your fingers.
