I see this fruit at Walmart on occasion but haven’t a clue what they are. They’re usually packaged in a box containing several so have not opted to buy them. I live in northern California and the name doesn’t ring a bell. Are they similar to a Mandarin orange?Chuck

Chuck,They’re a species of tangerine.
Hmmm… Many people say they’re a variety of Mandarin. See http://bestuff.com/stuff/clementine-oranges for example.
By any name they are always a hit at our home with the kids eating them like jelly beans.
Hey George!Yeah, the Mandarin orange is also a variety of tangerine.Jack,They do’t last long here either – and I live alone.{g}
I just ate two of these. I don’t like to buy them in the crate, though. It seems wasteful to throw the crate away.
Rhea,They’re only available in crates here so, while I agree with you about the waste, I still buy them.
I love them, but they just don’t taste as good as they did when I was a kid.No citrus does.
The Clementines make a great sorbet:Cut 16 tangerines in half & juiceStir in 1/3 cup sugar (or splenda) or more to tastePour into ice cream maker
Salifisher,Great idea.
