From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A tangerine is an orange-colored citrus fruit.
They are slightly smaller in size than orangess, but their skin peels off more easily. Their flavour is less sour and more neutral than that of an orange.
It is actually a type of mandarin orange.
The flavour is commonly used in bottle juice or soft drinks in North America.
The number of seeds in each slice (carpel) varies greatly. In one tangerine there might be 13 seeds distributed over 11 slices. Here's one example distribution of the seeds in each slice: 1,0,3,1,1,0,2,2,0,3,0.
