A small, seedless version of the common orange has high levels of vitamins and minerals, as well as compounds that may lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Called a satsuma, the fruit looks similar to a mandarin orange but has thinner, more leathery skin. It tastes similar to an orange but is reportedly easier to peel. Underneath its skin, the satsuma contains loads of vitamins.

One satsuma provides roughly half a person’s recommended daily allowance of vitamin C, according to the UK Daily Mirror.

Studies have indicated that vitamin C supplementation may help lower cholesterol and improve heart and immune health.

The satsuma is also full of fiber, potassium and calcium.

The newspaper added that the fruit contains folate, or vitamin B9, which researchers have suggested may lower levels of the amino acid homocysteine. Excess homocysteine in the blood may indicate an increased risk for heart disease.

The American Heart Association reports that folate can help the body break down homocysteine. It suggests taking daily supplements that contain vitamins B6, B9 and B12, which are nutrients likewise found in satsumas.
