The terrifying reason why canned tangerines look so “clean”

Why are canned tangerines so “clean”?
If you made desserts with canned tangerines, you know how sweet they are. This is because most tangerines are preserved in syrup, which makes them nice and sweet. But have you ever noticed just how clean this fishy mandarin is? Fresh tangerines slices look completely different and always covered with white strings and smooth skin. Research shows how this is possible, however, you may not want to take canned tangerines after learning the truth ...

If you've peeled tangerines, you know how hard it is to remove the white strands. Even if you attack the mandarin with your fingernails, it is difficult to get rid of them all, and sometimes the mandarin turns into a pitiful pile of pathetic. How can canned mandarin white and leather strips?
China
Most of the canned mandarin comes from China where there are factories full of people working to ensure that we can eat canned mandarin. Women should peel a myriad of mandarin, and they have about ten seconds per mandarin. This means they peel off six per minute, which is equivalent to 360 tangerines per person per hour! Then the exfoliated tangerine on a conveyor belt goes to its next destination: a gentle bath.

the toilet
The bathroom that goes tangerine consists of chemical soda and caustic soda. This is the same caustic that is used to close drains. It dismantles organic matter, which can remove the sink, and dissolve food residue in the drain pipes. Criminals use this chemical to get rid of body parts. For this reason, you should not put your hands on caustic soda, as it can harm your skin. Tangerine is kept in caustic soda long enough to remove the skin and strings, but not long enough to attack the meat.

hydrochloric acid
To make the tangerine edible after caustic soda bath, they are given a second bath in hydrochloric acid. This removes caustic soda, because the two chemical liquids together equal water! After that, the Mandarin is packed with syrup, and they are ready to start their journey to the supermarket.
