Tangerines and tangerines are two common fruits in people's daily life, and they are also a specialty of the southern region of our country. However, some people may mistake oranges for a type of tangerine, which is actually not the case.
First of all, tangerine is a plant that belongs to the genus Citrus, and its fruit is usually large, thick-skinned, and easy to peel. The flesh of oranges is sweet or sweet and sour and is rich in vitamin C and other nutrients. In the southern regions of China, tangerines are widely cultivated and eaten.
Whereas, orange is a variety of tangerine, which can also be said to be a subspecies of tangerine. The fruit of oranges is usually smaller than that of ordinary oranges, with thin skins and easier peeling. The flesh of oranges is sweet and juicy, and it is also one of the fruits that people love.
Although oranges and tangerines are somewhat similar in appearance and taste, they are different varieties. In addition, apart from oranges, there are some other fruits that belong to the genus Citrus, such as oranges, grapefruits, etc., which are also different varieties from tangerines and tangerines.
Therefore, we can conclude that tangerines and tangerines are not the same fruit, although they both belong to the genus Citrus, but different varieties.
