A tangerine is a small, sweet citrus fruit that is closely related to the mandarin orange. It is typically smaller than a regular orange, with a bright orange or reddish-orange skin and segmented flesh that is juicy and easy to peel. Tangerines are known for their sweet, tangy flavor and are often eaten as a snack, juiced, or used in salads, desserts, and other dishes. They are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, and may have health benefits such as improved immune function and reduced inflammation.
