Description
tangerine
Tangerines and oranges have similar qualities because they are members of the same family.
They may look alike, but they are actually two different species of fruit with separate origins and varieties.
Tangerines and oranges are citrus fruits that are often confused for one another.
They both contain an assortment of nutrients, are relatively sweet in flavor and are generally low in calories.
But while tangerines and oranges are closely related, they are actually two separate fruits with some notable differences.
Tangerines are smaller and less rounded than common oranges. The taste is considered less sour, as well as sweeter and stronger, than that of an orange. A ripe tangerine is firm to slightly soft, and pebbly-skinned with no deep grooves, as well as orange in color. The peel is thin, with little bitter white mesocarp. All of these traits are shared by mandarins generally.
tangerine originated many years ago in Asia.
