Green Skin Tangerine

Green Skin Tangerine

Green Skin Tangerine is a sweet Thai tropical citrus fruit with a naturally green to yellow-green outer peel and juicy orange flesh inside. It is also commonly searched as green tangerine, green orange, green fruit, Thai tangerine, Thai mandarin and Bang Mot Tangerine.

Unlike the bright orange mandarins many customers are used to, Thai green skin tangerines can look green even when they are ready to eat. The peel is usually thin, soft and easy to remove, while the inside is sweet, juicy and lower in sharp acidity compared with many regular oranges.

This fruit is popular for eating fresh and making a smooth, sweet tangerine drink. The flavour is refreshing, lightly citrusy and gentle, making it suitable for customers who prefer sweet citrus with less sourness.

Origin: Thailand.

What is Green Skin Tangerine?

Green Skin Tangerine is a Thai mandarin-style citrus fruit with green or yellow-green peel and sweet orange flesh inside. It belongs to the mandarin / tangerine group and is often enjoyed fresh or squeezed into juice.

In Thailand, green-skinned mandarins are commonly linked with ส้มเขียวหวาน, which can be understood as sweet green orange or Thai mandarin. Some batches may be sold as Bang Mot Tangerine when the supplier label confirms the Bang Mot variety or style.

The green peel does not always mean the fruit is unripe. For tropical citrus, peel colour can stay green or greenish even when the fruit is sweet and ready to eat.

Why is the Skin Green?

Green skin is normal for some tropical citrus fruits. Citrus peel colour is affected by natural pigments. Green colour comes from chlorophyll, while orange and yellow colours come from carotenoids.

In warm growing regions, the peel may remain green or partly green even when the flesh inside is sweet and juicy. For this product, taste, juiciness and batch quality are more important than having a fully orange peel.

Thai Tropical Tangerines and Bang Mot Tangerines

Thai Tropical Tangerines are loved for their sweet juice, thin peel and easy eating quality. Bang Mot Tangerine is a well-known Thai mandarin variety associated with Bangkok’s Bang Mot area, appreciated for its thin peel, soft segment texture and sweet-sour flavour.

If the current batch is specifically labelled Bang Mot, SKC Fruits can describe it as Bang Mot Tangerine. If the label does not confirm the exact variety, use Green Skin Tangerine or Thai Green Tangerine as the safer product name.

Green Skin Tangerine vs Regular Orange

Green Skin Tangerine is different from a regular orange. It is usually smaller, easier to peel and sweeter with lower sharp acidity. Regular oranges often have thicker peel and a more acidic orange taste.

Best Uses

Green Skin Tangerine can be eaten fresh, juiced or added to fruit platters. It is especially useful for customers who want a sweet citrus drink without strong sourness.

• Eat fresh as a sweet citrus snack
• Squeeze for Thai-style tangerine juice
• Use for green orange juice
• Add to fruit platters
• Serve chilled after meals
• Use in mocktails, citrus tea or soda drinks
• Add segments to salads or yoghurt bowls
• Pair with pomelo, pineapple, mango, apple or berries

How to Choose Green Skin Tangerines

Choose fruits that feel heavy for their size, as this usually means they are juicy. The peel should feel firm to slightly soft, not overly dry, sunken or mouldy.

Do not judge ripeness by orange peel colour alone. A green-skinned tangerine can still be sweet and juicy inside. Avoid fruit that is leaking, fermented, badly bruised or mushy.

• Choose fruit that feels heavy and juicy
• Look for firm to slightly soft peel
• Green peel can be normal
• Avoid leaking or fermented fruit
• Remove mouldy or mushy fruit early
• Wash before peeling, cutting or juicing

How to Eat Green Skin Tangerine

Wash the fruit under clean running water before peeling, cutting or juicing. Peel away the thin green skin and separate the orange segments by hand.

If using for juice, cut and squeeze as needed. Some fruits may contain seeds, so strain the juice or remove seeds before serving to children.

• Wash before use
• Peel by hand or cut for juicing
• Separate the segments
• Remove seeds if present
• Serve chilled for a sweeter refreshing taste
• Consume soon after cutting or juicing

Season and Singapore Availability

Green Skin Tangerine is an imported Thai citrus fruit in Singapore. Availability depends on Thailand’s harvest timing, supplier packing, shipment quality and SKC Fruits stock.

Thai mandarin-type citrus can appear across different times of the year depending on growing region and variety. For Bang Mot-style tangerines, harvest and supply should be treated as batch-dependent, and SKC Fruits should confirm the current label before promising exact variety, season or origin district.

If you need Green Skin Tangerines for juicing, events, fruit platters or regular supply, it is best to order when stock is available or contact SKC Fruits to confirm the latest batch.

This fruit is fresh produce and is not a medical treatment. Customers watching sugar intake, blood sugar or carbohydrates should enjoy suitable portions according to their own dietary needs.

Customers tracking calories, sugar or carbohydrates closely should weigh the edible portion or measure the juice used because fruit size and juice yield vary by batch.

Keep Green Skin Tangerines in a cool, dry place if you plan to use them soon. For longer freshness, refrigerate them dry in a breathable bag, produce drawer or container.
