Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between clementines, mandarins, and tangerines?
Mandarins are the overarching category. Clementines are a seedless mandarin hybrid—small, sweet, easy to peel. Tangerines are another mandarin type, typically slightly larger with deeper color and more tart flavor. All are closely related.
Why are clementines called 'Cuties' or 'Halos'?
Cuties and Halos are brand names for clementines and similar mandarin varieties sold in the US. The exact variety depends on season—clementines in winter, Murcotts or other hybrids in spring. They're selected for sweetness and easy peeling.
Can I eat clementine peels?
Clementine peels are edible and contain oils and fiber, but they're quite bitter. The white pith has nutrients but bitter taste. Most people discard the peel, though it can be candied or zested. Wash thoroughly if consuming peel.
