Medium-small to medium sized and usually seedless flesh. Juicy, sweet, mild to rich flavor, excellent taste. Here’s a roundup of the most notable mandarin orange varieties and their hybrids and when you will find them at the farm market:Ĭlementine or Algerian Tangerine. The mandarin season extends from early winter into summer-with the harvest divided into early, midseason and late. The earliest ripening mandarin oranges and their hybrids are ready in early winter.
Those with the deepest red-orange peels are often called tangerines. Mandarins vary in color from orange to deep, nearly reddish orange. Mandarins-the majority of which are smaller and squatter than most oranges–have less acid than oranges, and generally contain more water and less sugar than oranges.
The one thing that mandarin oranges have in common is that their peel or skin easily pulls away from their flesh and their segments are easily separated. Say mandarin orange and you are describing a large and diverse group of citrus varieties and hybrids that vary from very sweet to tart and from egg-sized small to medium grapefruit-sized large.
