6. Comments: Mandarin oranges are native to southern China, where they are eaten primarily as fresh fruit. Canned mandarin oranges are common in the United States. Eating citrus fruit whole, instead of just drinking its juice, provides important fiber, especially soluble fiber that is linked to lowering blood cholesterol levels.
