ArabiaWeather - Mandarin and Clementine fruits, known as winter fruits, which contain vitamin C , which is necessary for human health. The two fruits are similar in appearance, but there are differences between them that we can recognize in addition to their most prominent benefits.

First, mandarins are less sweet than clementines, but their flavor is stronger and they can be peeled more easily. One tangerine covers about 43% of an adult’s daily vitamin C needs.

In the cold seasons when the spread of colds increases, tangerines strengthen the immune system. Tangerines also contain a high percentage of selenium, which is an important nutritional supplement that plays a role in preventing cancer.

As for clementines , they come from the Mediterranean regions, and are similar in shape to tangerines and oranges. The clementine's peel is thicker than the tangerine's, and it can be preserved for up to two months, while the preservation time of tangerines is less than two weeks. Clementines are sweeter and do not contain internal pits.
