What's the difference between clementines and Mandarin oranges?

Question

How do they differ in taste and appearance? They both don't have seeds, as well.

Answer 1

Clementines and Mandarins are two different varieties of tangerine.

Satsuma Mandarin oranges, tend to be smaller and have a prominent dimple on the part that attached to the stem.

Clementines are about the size of a jumbo Satsuma Mandarin. They don't have the same "EZ Peel" characteristic and tend to be rounder than the mandarins.

TASTE:
in my opinion, the Mandarins tend to be more "tart" and the clementines a wee bit sweeter. Both are way more tart than typical tangerines or oranges.

Answer 5

All those orange-but-not-an-orange fruits are types of mandarin oranges. Tangerine is a general term deriving from Tangiers, the Tunisian port where Chinese mandarins were first imported. Satsumas are a class of mandarin traced to 15th century Japan - loose skinned, sweet and mostly seedless. Clementines are grown around the Mediterranean - small, glossy, sweet but sharp. There also Dancy, Tangelo, Ponkan... to name a few all cross-pollinated, there are hundreds of varieties. Now you know.
