Clementine is a hybrid of tangerine and orange.
What is the difference between clementine and tangerine
Clementine has a rounder shape and looks like a smaller orange.
If you touch the peel, you will notice that the peel of tangerines is softer and looser, and also comes off easier from the fruit.
A slight difference can also be seen in color - the peel of the tangerines is slightly brighter.
The clementines got the tight-fitting peel from the oranges. But the peel is brighter and the flesh is sweeter.
Clementines are shaped like orange balls or small oranges.
Tangerine fruits are slightly flattened, with a concavity formed at the point where the flower is attached.
The smell is reminiscent of orange and tangerine oil, with a pronounced sweet fruity nuance.
What is clementine good for
Clementines are small, easily peeled, sweet citrus fruits that are usually seedless.
They contain beneficial antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta-carotene.
Please be aware that due to the furanocoumarins they contain, they may interact with some medications.
