Tangerines are a welcome refreshment not only on hot summer days, but also a vitamin bomb.
However, the aroma of this fruit is much more often associated with the Christmas period, but thanks to its good availability, we can consume it all year round.

Types of tangerines
Clementines
Perhaps the best-known type of mandarin orange, you can tell by their shape – they are wider than they are tall, and they are plump rather than round. And their skin, which peels easily.
Clementines are usually much sweeter – and less sour, plus they are seedless, making them a great snack.
Golden tangerines
This variety of tangerine has a bump that looks a bit like small stones dug out of the ground.
But beneath all the wrinkles is a true inner beauty with thick, deep orange marigolds full of sweet juice and most used in fresh juices.
Murcott
Half tangerine, half orange, this hybrid was first bred in Florida, where a farmer named Charles Murcott experimented with creating new citrus fruits in the 1920s.
Mandarin is easy to peel, sweet and juicy with a clean citrus scent and bright orange color.
Pixies
These tangerine varieties are less sweet than others, paler in color and only moderately juicy.
Satsuma tangerine
This special variety of tangerines comes from Japan.
Mandarins are sweet but also a little sour, with plump, seedless flesh that carries a much stronger aroma.
Satsumas are particularly popular in the kitchen, regularly appearing in everything from salads to stuffing to stir-fries.
