Spanish term or phrase: a ras

Las mandarinas: como todos los cítricos, si son jugosos deben ser pesadas, por lo que conviene seleccionar las mandarinas que tengan mayor peso respecto a su tamaño. Los mejores ejemplares son los que tienen la piel blanda pero no arrugada y bien adherida a los gajos. El pedúnculo debe estar cortado *a ras* y el mejor indicativo de su calidad es su olor que es más dulce e intenso cuanto más madura está la fruta.

Mandarin fruit tend to "plug" when pulled from the tree, i.e., a piece of the peel tears loose from the fruit and remains attached to the stem. Plugging is inconsequential for fruit that is to be used immediately upon harvest--but it is preferable to use hand pruning shears to clip the fruit from the tree to avoid damage. In clipping, the stem should be cut close to the fruit so as to preclude it from puncturing the rind of other fruit during harvest and handling.
