Mandarin

The tangerine is the fruit of the mandarin, belonging to the Rutaceae family. This is a fruit similar to orange, but smaller, with a thinner skin and flattened at its base. Its bark is smooth, shiny, red-orange in color and very easy to peel. Its pulp is made up of numerous vesicles filled with very sweet juice.

In the market we can find different varieties: clementines, clementillas (larger than the previous ones), satsumas (yellower in color) and various hybrid varieties.
