Wow I love them both. ;)) Orange and tangerine are both citrus fruits but they are not the same. Though they are considered to be belonging to the same species, orange and tangerine differ in many aspects like their shape, smell and taste. Tangerine is: - smaller than orange. -considered to be excellent pocket foods as they come in small shape and easily removed rinds. - a variety of Mandarin orange or Citrus reticulata. - The tangerine fruit comes less acidic as it is smaller in size. Oranges are: - round citrus fruits much bigger than Tangerine. - orange comes with hard skin when compared to tangerine - Orange is known to be more acidic having a pH value of 2.4- 3 When talking about the taste, Oranges are sweet and tangerines are less sour or tart than that of oranges. hope it helped. ;)

Hi there, yes, they are two different fruits. Tangerines are usually softer and smaller than oranges. I find that they are like over sized mandarins in the way they look. Tangerines also tent to be more flat (less round) than oranges (from the ones I've seen)!

Yes. You can't peel an orange with your hands.
