How to make sour tangerines sweet: 2 simple tricks

It's impossible to tell whether tangerines are sweet or not in a store by eye. At the market, if you're lucky, sellers may let you taste the fruit, but this is very rare. However, even if you bought sour fruits, you can easily make them sweet at home.

The FoodOboz editorial team shares simple life hacks that will help make sour tangerines sweet. Everything is very basic and quick.

Method with water

1. Soak the fruit in warm water (for 10-15 minutes).

2. Then put the tangerines in cold water.

Exposure to the sun

1. Place the tangerines on the windowsill on the sunny side.

2. Leave the fruits in this form for 2-3 days.

Of course, you can spread the tangerines on the windowsill under the sun: in such conditions, they will take about 2-3 days to ripen.

The first method is more practical. It's because there is very little sun in winter, so it's hard to catch the moment to make the fruit sweet. You can also heat water at any time.
