We’ll point out the key differences between these two types of citrus fruits so you can tell them apart.
The most apparent distinction lies in the size of the fruit. Clementines are generally smaller than mandarins. Characteristically, the skin of clementines is smooth and glossy, which is in contrast to mandarins whose skin is coarser. Not only are they smaller, but clementines are also effortless to peel, making them a great choice for kids’ snacks.
Notes that mandarins are found in stores from autumn throughout most of the winter, whereas clementines are harvested from autumn right through to the end of spring.
And in the mouth?
Clementines are said to have a more acidic taste in the mouth. Mandarins, with their juicy pulp, are sweeter. Conversely, when it comes to the benefits, there’s no distinction between these two citrus fruits: they supply 61.50% of the dietary reference intake (DRI) for vitamin C, and 13.80% for vitamin B9.
