Citrus reticulata (tangerine)

Citrus reticulata, commonly known as tangerine, is a small, sweet, and easy-to-peel citrus fruit related to mandarins and oranges. It typically has a thin, loose skin that makes it convenient to peel by hand. Tangerines are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavor compounds, making them both tasty and nutritious. They are usually available in winter months and are enjoyed fresh, in salads, or as juice. The fruit’s bright, tangy-sweet taste and aromatic aroma make it a popular choice worldwide, prized for its delicate balance of sweetness and citrus zest.
