Tangerine

Tangerine is a small citrus fruit (a type of mandarin) commonly eaten fresh or used in salads, desserts and beverages; it has Mediterranean and East Asian culinary roots and is prized for its easy-to-peel skin and sweet-tart flavor. It is naturally low in calories and provides a modest amount of vitamin C — about 26.35mg per 100g — along with some simple sugars and water, making it a refreshing, hydrating snack. As a whole fruit it delivers fiber and phytonutrients that support digestion and antioxidant protection, and because it is typically eaten fresh and minimally processed it makes for a convenient, nutrient-rich choice.
