Many tangerines sold in stores, although they look familiar, are actually hybrids with other citrus fruits. For example, tangerines or clementines.
The highest quality tangerines are those that seem too heavy for their size. They are very juicy, but in very light fruits there is little moisture, but there are too many seeds and harsh fiber, and they taste so-so.
Picking tangerines is a laborious task. In order for these fruits to be stored well and not rot, they must not be plucked, but cut with scissors. And do it in such a way that there is no long “tail” that can pierce neighboring fruits.
