HEALTH & BENEFITS

Mandarins are rich in vitamin C, which helps promote a healthy immune system and skin. They also contain carotenoids, which have been linked to a decreased risk of some chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Lychees are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, which supports heart health and contributes to healthy blood pressure.
