Have you have any difficulty peeling the oranges you bought? When you use tangerines, you won’t have to worry about that issue! They are all known as “kid-glove oranges” because to their loose skin, which makes peeling them as simple as taking a glove off your hand.
More than three thousand years ago, people in China began cultivating tangerines. They are also cultivated in substantial quantities in Myanmar (Burma). There are numerous different forms and sizes of tangerines that have been discovered, ranging from the size of a tiny walnut to that of an ordinary orange. It is believed that the word “tangerine” was originated from the city of Tangier, which is located in Morocco. The term “tangerine” refers to all mandarin oranges that have red skin.
Similar to oranges, tangerines are an excellent source of vitamin C as well as folate and beta-carotene.
In addition, they have a trace amount of magnesium, potassium, and the vitamins B1, B2, and B3. Consumption is required at all times of the thin membrane that covers the segments because it includes a component that aids in digesting.
Tangerines of good quality should be quite weighty for their size, since this shows that they contain a lot of apple juice. They should have a hue that is recognizable, either a strong orange or one that is nearly red. Because of the looseness of the epidermis, mature fruit often has a puffy sensation to the touch.
