About Tangerines, (mandarin oranges), raw
Tangerines — a type of mandarin orange — are the small, sweet, loose-skinned citrus that practically beg to be eaten: no knife needed, just a thumb to start the peel and segments that pull apart cleanly. Sweeter and less acidic than a regular orange, they're a lunchbox and winter favorite.
Like other citrus they're a good source of vitamin C, with fiber, folate and antioxidants including the orange-pigment carotenoids. Their easy-peel convenience makes them one of the simplest ways to get a serving of fruit into a busy day.
Sweet, portable and low in calories, the tangerine is fruit at its most fuss-free — much of why a bowl of them disappears so quickly.
