Tangerines are smaller and less rounded than common oranges. The taste is considered less sour, as well as sweeter and stronger, than that of an orange. A ripe tangerine is firm to slightly soft and pebbly-skinned with no deep grooves, as well as orange in color. The peel is thin, with little bitter white mesocarp. All of these traits are basically shared by mandarins.
Tangerines were first grown and cultivated as a distinct crop in the Americas by a Major Atway in Palatka, Florida. The story is that he imported them from Morocco (from the city Tangier), which was, therefore said, the origin of the name. In 1843, the Major sold his groves to N. H. Moragne in 1843, giving the Moragne tangerine the other part of its name.
Peak tangerine season lasts from autumn to spring, but Tangerines in Thailand do have extended seasons.
Tangerines are most commonly peeled and eaten by hand. The fresh fruit is also used in salads, desserts, and main dishes.
