The clementine (Citrus clementina) is another variety of mandarin. Like the tangerine, it’s a sweet, easy to peel citrus fruit. You can tell the difference from a tangerine by its slightly smaller size, brighter orange color, and smoother, shinier skin. It’s also even easier to peel than a tangerine because the skin is thinner.
