Tangerine (Citrus × tangerina), Dr.Abhay Kumar Pati, Best Nutrition, Hayward, Ca, USA

June 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Tangerine (Citrus × tangerina) is an orange-coloured citrus fruit. It is a variety of the Mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata). Tangerine fruit is flattened in shape, 2 to 4 inches in diameter, and orange-red in color. The rind is thin and leathery and peels from the fruit easily. The taste is often less sour, or tart, than that of an orange.
Tangerines are most commonly peeled and eaten out of hand. The fresh fruit is also used in salads, desserts and main dishes. Fresh tangerine juice and frozen juice concentrate are commonly available in the United States.
Therapeutic use: Tangerines are a good source of vitamin C, folate and beta-carotene. They also contain some potassium, magnesium and vitamins B1, B2 & B3. Tangerine oil, like all citrus oils, has limonene as its major constituent, but also alpha-pinene, myrcene, gamma-terpinene, citronellal, linalool, neral, neryl acetate, geranyl acetate, geraniol, thymol, and carvone.
