Kinow, the superior mandarin from Pakistan
The Pakistan Consulate in Germany was at Fruit Logistica to promote kinow mandarins.Almost the national fruit in Pakistan, in Europe kinow mandarins have so far generally only been seen in selected specialist outlets. But the larger version of the popular citrus fruit has a high juice content (more than 50 per cent) and a high concentration of Vitamin C, at 32 mg/100ml. It is also extremely easy to peel, said Marion Boulris from the Pakistan Consulate.Around three million tonnes of kinow is produced annually in Pakistan, and this figure is still on the rise.
