Algerian Tangerine

The Algerian tangerine, or Citrus Clementina, also goes by the more common name of clementine. The "kid glove orange" is another moniker for it because of the loose and simple peel rind. The mandarin family, which also contains other tangerines, tangelos, and tangors, includes Algerian tangerines, which are a cross between an orange and a mandarin. Tangerines have half the daily required amount of vitamin C and are particularly high in vitamin C. Although they have few calories and few nutrients overall, they do contain two tablespoons of sugar, some fiber, potassium, and folic acid.

With a diameter of fewer than 2.5 inches, Algerian tangerines are among the tiniest citrus fruits. They might be oblate, oblong, or pyriform in shape; short necks are not usually present. The rind is deeply orange and pebbled. The thin and simple peel rind of the Algerian tangerine, combined with the absence of seeds generally, make this fruit a great snack. There are eight to twelve distinct segments of delicious, rich orange flesh inside. The flavor has been characterized as melting, soft, and reviving and is highly sweet.
