Kroger Mandarin Oranges Peeled Segments in Light Syrup Review

I was doing my weekly shopping at Kroger. I normally don't do my shopping at Kroger. I find them more expensive than most other stores. However, my husband and I received a $25 Kroger gift card at a party, so I thought I would put it to use. I was wandering the aisles and came upon the canned fruit. I usually buy fresh fruit, but my family and I really enjoy eating the canned mandarin oranges. I normally buy the Wal-Mart Great Value brand, but I decided to grab a can since they were on sale. Were they tasty?

An overview of Kroger Mandarin Oranges Peeled Segments in Light Syrup: Kroger Mandarin Oranges appear slightly larger than most other canned oranges I have eaten. When you open the can you will see oranges floating in a watery liquid. I drain the liquid and am left with peeled segments of oranges. They are bright in color and appear no different than peeled oranges, aside from their wet appearance. They smell sweet and look fresh. Each can of Kroger Mandarin Oranges has a weight of fifteen ounces. I am actually eating some right now and counted 29 orange segments, so there are around 30 orange segments per can.

How do Kroger brand Mandarin Oranges taste? Kroger Mandarin Oranges have a very pleasant taste. In my opinion, they taste like most any other brand. I don't think that I would notice a difference or be able to discern between the Kroger brand or a brand like Dole. Kroger Mandarin Oranges are very juicy. When you bite into them they almost burst in your mouth. They have a sweet taste, but it is light and not overbearing.
