Fairchild  mandarins are most commonly eaten fresh. They can be added to green salads or used in baked, frozen, or fresh dessert applications. Use mandarin juice for cocktails or smoothies, or blend with other citrus juices. Pair with yogurt, endive, arugula, winter squash, and leeks. Use them alongside seafood, pork or chicken. Mandarins also pair well with sweet and spicy flavors like soy, ginger, garlic, vanilla, honey, and olive oil. They will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days, and can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
