One hundred percent YES! Sumo mandarins are the absolute best. My family will tell you that I start talking about them as the new year rolls around and their season nears.
$2.99/lb? wow that's awesome. They're $3.99/lb around here.

Your life is about to blessed sir. Also better hurry the season is coming to an end. I bought up 12 more the other day. Nothing like ending a day with a Sumo.
I looked and didn’t see them on the vendor list but you never know. If you are not worried about paying an extra buck a pound then go here they ship. Sumocitrus.com
They will come down in price once more orchids are planted. These started out in Japan and some organization brought them here to the US and they basically have the market cornered. It took them 7 years just to start being able to produce fruit. Very new product in the market.
I wish those same Japanese folks would do something with the grapefruit. They need to make those things easier to peel and eat.
Well OP, I went to Market Street at the Tollway and El Dorado. I picked up your weird looking fruit. It is delicious.
Folks near a Crest store, I found them today at the "big" Crest in MWC for $1.89/lb. Damn, those are good - easy to peel - I'll probably use a peeler (just for the zest) on the next one, because they would probably make a very good orange beef addition.
Glad you guys posted this!!!
Didn't figure you could get them in OKC...never noticed them at Crest, will have to pay more attention. Anyway, ordered a box.
I have been craving good oranges for years...seems like they wer much better 10-15 years ago...maybe I'm just an old fart with the "back in the day" memories...who knows, anyway the oranges I've had in recent years have all been tasteless.
Went to Taiwan a year ago to visit inlaws and had the absolute best oranges I've ever tasted...can get them anywhere over there...I'm was even thinking of figuring out a way to ship some in.
These Sumo oranges are right there with the Taiwan oranges. Just a little bit less flavor, little more tart (which I like) and not quite as sweet (again good for me)...same easy to peel skin. Awesome!!
Thanks much for the heads up guys! I knew I hung around this place for some reason.
