Win Satsumas for Sharing

By Jennifer Cheng, December 5, 2011  |  Meet the Blogger  |  More Posts by Jennifer Cheng
We love sharing the flavor of satsumas! In some cultures, it’s traditional to give citrus to friends and relatives for good wishes and we couldn’t agree more — satsumas make a perfect gift for the holiday season. Bring a bright spot of citrusy sunshine to your holiday season with a box of satsumas and gift one to a friend — on us! Leave a comment below by December 13th telling us who you would share satsumas with and why. We’ll pick 10 winners at random to receive a 13-pound box of satsumas along with another box for the giftee of their choice. A variety of mandarin orange and a cousin to the clementine, satsumas are super sweet, juicy, seedless and easy to peel. They’re only available for a short time (from October to December) so you’ve got to enjoy their sweetness while you can. You can use them in recipes, keep them on hand for easy snacks and as edible table décor…what’s not to love? Find more ways to enjoy satsumas here. So go on, share some sweetness — give someone (and yourself!) the gift of satsumas this season. Leave a comment by December 13th to tell us who would you like to share satsumas with and why for a chance to win! Remember to keep your eye out for an email message on December 14th — you’ll need to respond by Dec 15th in order for us to collect addresses and ship the satsumas for the holidays. We can send the gift box of satsumas to the winner for hand delivery to their giftee or we can ship to another US address. Enjoy! The fine print: No purchase necessary. Promotion ends December 13, 2011. Must be a legal resident of the US, age 18 or older to participate. (Sorry, no shipping on these satsumas to Canada.) Taxes on prize, if applicable, are the responsibility of the winner. Employees of Whole Foods Market, Inc., are not eligible. Void where prohibited.

I would like to share the satsumas with my sweet daughter and husband. It is her first Christmas and our first as a family!

I would share these gems with my relatives back east who don't get as much sunshine and satsuma sunshine as we lucky Oaklanders.

I would share them with a dear friend. We are gluten free and she always thinks of us when she goes out of town. She likes to swing by various heath food stores, especially every whole foods she passes by in every state she visits. Thank you

I'd share them with my mom, who's 84 and in awesome health, and is coming to visit me for the holidays and she loooves satsumas! She's flying here on her own (5 hr. flight) and she'd be so happy if I surprised her at the airport with the satsumas!

It would be wonderful to share them with my mother, who lives up north, and whom I won't be able to spend Christmas with this year, like we usually do. It would be a great way to share with her!

I would share these with my mom, who I don't get to see that much since she lives in Ohio. However she will be joining us in NC this year for Christmas. Can't wait to greet her, hopefully with these yummy treats!

Oooh my kids and I love clementines, and we have never had this variety of orange! Would love to try them for us and the holiday crowd, I am sure they would go quick. Grandma would get a delivery too!

I am a citrus kinda gal! My favorite color is orange and my favorite scent is 'satsuma' from 'the body shop'. Considering satsuma is my signature scent, it makes my husband think of me every time he smells It in the shower, car, or mall. I would love to win a box and give it to him so he can have a 'scent' of me when he goes to work everyday. PLUS, it's a lot healthier than drinking OJ (or any juice) our of a box.

Oh we love satsumas and all kinds of fruit in our family (there's always at least one fresh fruit in the kids' lunch boxes every day). Great Grandma in Seattle isn't easy to find Christmas gifts for and she gets her fair share of wooly socks and cosy blankets. Last year she got a box of pears as a gift and raved about it. I'm sure she'd be equally thrilled about Satsumas! :)

I would share with my 17 month old nephew because he reminds me that you're never too old to play with your food.

I would share them with my co-workers. They are far better than the normal snacks we have around the office and the Vitamin C will help keep everyone healthy!

I never had satsumas, so I'd love to try and share with others who haven't either.

I would share these with my two sweet toddlers who have been passing a terrible cold back and forth for weeks! They need the vitamin c! ;)

I would love to share these with my Mom! They look so good and remind me of the oranges she (oops, I mean Santa) would put at the bottom of our Christmas stockings each year. :-)

I would love to share with my children the wonderful taste of Satsumas because they are so delicious and satisfying. Vitamin C is a great preventive for cold and flu season.

I would love to try them myself but they would also be a welcome gift to my 84 year old parents who live in upstate NY where things are usually white this time of year.

Last year during Satsuma season I bought three twenty-pound boxes of Satsumas! I sent them back home to my immediate family, who all loved them. This year, its simple-I would share them with my fellow co-workers at Whole Foods Market CHN!

I would share them with my sister's elementary school class because the children need to learn about healthy nutrition and many do not eat fresh fruit due to current cash constraints.

I would love to share these with my mom who doesn't have access to fruit like this where she lives. She also loves oranges, so introducing these to her would be a great gift.

I would share them with my mother. She lives in Georgia and I live in Northern Kentucky. I have not been able to spend a Christmas with her in about 5 years since she moved down there. Every year including this one something always comes up. It would be wonderful to send her a sweet surprise this Christmas.
