Kids love oranges and having mandarin oranges in your hood may strengthen your parental bond with them. The mandarin oranges scientifically referred to as Citrus reticulata is a predominant tropical and subtropical drought tolerant small citrus tree with fruit resembling other oranges as likely expected. The oranges are usually eaten alone or in salads. The reddish-orange cultivar especially are often marketed as tangerines but that is not its botanical classification. They are structurally smaller, oblate and perhaps spherical like the common oranges, but their tastes are distinctively less sour, as it is stronger and sweeter. The common oranges are usually referred to as the mandarin hybrids but a ripe mandarin is firm to slightly soft. It is usually heavy for its size and pebbly skinned. As opposed most of the other common oranges in the citrus group, it has very thin peel with less bitter mesocarp that allows for the orange to peel and split easily into segments. Although the hybrid oranges have these traits as well but to a lesser degree. It’s been traced scientifically that the mandarin, the papeda, the pometo and the citron are all ancestors of the common citrus groups/varieties that have evolved through the hybridization process, however, the mandarin are all more important as they are the only sweet orange along the ancestral line.
