The tangerine (Citrus reticulata) is an orange or red colored citrus fruit. They are smaller than most oranges, and the skin of some varieties peels off more easily. The taste is often more sour, or tart, than that of an orange.Good quality tangerines will be firm to slightly hard, heavy for their size, and pebbly-skinned with no deep grooves, as well as orange in color. Peak tangerine season is short, lasting from November to January in the Northern Hemisphere.
