In the colorful world of fruits, citrus fruits have always been loved by people for their bright colors and unique taste. Among them, oranges, oranges and mandarins are the best, they all belong to the citrus family, but each has its own unique charm and characteristics. Today, let's walk into the world of these three fruits and explore the mysteries and differences between them.

The fruit of an orange is small, usually oblate, which makes it particularly lovely among many fruits. Its skin is thin and loose, easy to peel off, and has a bright orange-red or red color, giving it a warm and energetic feel. In contrast, oranges have larger fruits, mostly round or oblong, and appear fuller. Its skin is smooth and thick, with a vivid orange-yellow or orange-red color, which is not easy to peel off, but adds to the mystery. The fruit of the mandarin orange is between the orange and the orange, generally larger than the orange and smaller than the orange, and is approximately spherical or oblate. It has a thick skin that appears yellow-green or orange-yellow, with a rough surface, giving it an earthy and natural feel.
2. Taste: sweet and sour are intertwined, each with its own merits.
On the palate, tangerines are distinguished by their moderate sweetness and sourness in the flesh. When you take a bite of an orange, the sweet and sour taste will fill your mouth in an instant, leaving you feeling a fresh and natural deliciousness. The flesh of the orange is full and juicy, sweet and sour, and this combination of sweet and sour makes the taste of the orange more layered and very refreshing. The flesh of the mandarin orange is more delicate in texture, and the taste is sweet and less sour, although the taste is more sour than the other two, but it is this sour taste that makes the mandarin more unique and distinct in taste.
3. Origin: distribution from north to south, each with regional characteristics.
In the production area, oranges are mainly produced in the southern regions of China, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places. These regions have a warm and humid climate, which provides unique conditions for the growth of oranges. The production areas of oranges are mainly distributed in the Jiangnan region of China, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. The climate and abundance of water in these regions make the oranges even better. The main production areas of citrus are in the northern regions of China, such as Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places. The dry climate and large temperature difference between day and night in these regions allow citrus to accumulate more sugars and fruit acids during growth, resulting in its unique taste and flavor.
