Satsuma Tangerine with Stem and Leaf have a round to oblate shape with a flattened top and bottom and a broad, curved middle. The fruit's rind is thin and easy to peel, having a delicate nature and being prone to bruising, scars, and tears. The rind also showcases a pale orange, bright orange, to orange-red coloring and has a leathery, smooth, semi-glossy, and taut appearance, covered in prominent oil glands giving the surface a pebbled texture. Underneath the rind, there is an almost nonexistent layer of the white, spongy pith, enveloping orange flesh that is divided into 10 to 12 segments by thin membranes witha hallow center. the flesh is firm but tender with an aqueous, succulent, and almost melting consistency. The flesh is also either seedless or contains a few ivory seeds,depending on the specific variety. The flesh varies in sugar and acidity levels, giving the fruits a milk, sweet, and subtly tangy flavor with honeyed nuances.
