THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANDARINS, TANGERINES & CLEMENTINES
Mandarin is a category of citrus that includes both tangerines and clementines. So, while every tangerine or clementine is technically a mandarin, not every mandarin is a clementine or tangerine. 😳🤔
The are 167 different recorded hybrids and varieties of mandarins listed. So, one can be forgiven for being a little confused about all these fruits.
However, here’s a quick guide to figure out which is which.
MANDARIN — Mandarins are generally smaller than oranges and taste sweeter. Their skin is thinner and a little looser, which makes the fruit easier to peel.
TANGERINE — Tangerines have a bright orange color. Their flavor is less sweet and a bit more tart than most mandarins. Their skin is slightly tougher and harder to peel, which makes them a hardier fruit that’s less likely to bruise.
CLEMENTINE — Clementines are super sweet, seedless, and have smooth and shiny skin. They are one of the easiest mandarins to peel, only coming in behind Satsumas.
WHY NOT GROW YOUR OWN MANDARIN, TANGERINE & CLEMENTINE TREES AT HOME OR ON YOUR BALCONY?
