What is a Tangerine?

A tangerine is a small mandarin-type citrus fruit with orange peel, juicy segments and a sweet-tart flavour. It belongs to the wider mandarin orange group and is often enjoyed fresh because it is easy to peel by hand.

Tangerines are commonly eaten as a snack fruit, added to fruit platters or used in desserts and drinks. The edible part is the juicy flesh inside, while the peel is usually removed before eating.

Other Names for Tangerines

Tangerines may be known by several English, Chinese and citrus market names. Customers may also search for them as small oranges, mandarin oranges or Chinese mandarins.

Fruit Tangerine in Chinese

How to Choose Tangerines

Choose tangerines that feel heavy for their size and have a fresh citrus aroma. The fruit should feel firm to slightly springy, not dry, hollow or overly soft.

Natural surface scars, small marks and outer skin imperfections are normal for fresh tangerines and do not usually affect the flesh inside. Avoid fruit with mould, leaking juice, fermented smell or collapsed soft patches.

Small Tangerine Calories and Nutrition Overview

Tangerines can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Like other mandarin-style citrus fruits, they naturally contain water, carbohydrates, small amounts of fibre, vitamin C, potassium and citrus plant compounds.

Nutrition values can vary depending on fruit size, sweetness, edible portion, seed amount, season and batch. Weigh the edible portion if tracking calories, sugar or carbohydrates closely.

Storage and Handling Guide

If you plan to finish the tangerines within a few days, keep them in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. For longer storage, refrigerate them in the chiller drawer or a breathable bag.

Check the pack regularly and remove any soft, mouldy or damaged fruit promptly. One spoiled fruit can affect nearby fruit, especially when citrus is packed closely together.
