Dear Indigoer,
Before we launch into talking business and events for the new year and all that stuff I must share with you something that has been niggling me for some time but I think I have now resolved it and it may well be of benefit to you once you have heard the answer.
"Oh just get on with it - what is niggling you and how can it possibly be of benefit to me?" I hear you say
If you just calm down and not be so impatient I will begin.
Yes I knew you'd be interested and I am sure you can fully appreciate what a burden it has been not to know the difference and possibly suffer the embarassment and public himiliation at the greengrocers when pointing at the wrong fruit- I might be laughed out of town! ( for my younger readers a greengrocer is a shop of great rarity that sells only fruit and vegetables!)
A seedless citus fruit - similar looking to a mandarin - probably its origins are found in Japan. It is a called Satsuma in England as that is the province of Satsuma in Japan from where the fruit was first exported.
Infact there are four towns in America called Satsuma as they also produce stacks of them.
So should you be sending a Christmas card to someone in Satsuma be certain to address it correctly- otherwise heaven knows where it will end up !
Also known as a Mandarin Orange -it is a variety of the Orange and is also known as a Clemntine or Tagerine- it is also produced in Japan and many other sub tropical places but predominantly in China (these Chinese get everywhere don't they - well good luck to them!)
Are you keeping up? is it becoming clearer ? good then I will continue.
It is closely related to the Mandarin orange - no surprises there!
It is has been cultivated for nearly 3000 years so by my reckoning Jesus Christ may have had one or two - well you never know!
In days of old if you were a native of Tangiers you were known as a Tangerine! and tangerines grew in the region of Tangiers from there they were exported to England.
they are now grown in China and many other places including America!
Recent research in the University of Ontario have shown that substances in tangerines prevent obesity (in mice) and protect against type 2 diabetes and even atheroclerosis which is the underlying disease responsible for heart attacks and strokes.- so get eating!!
.
This is a variety of mandarin and are almost always seedless and are often called seedless tangerines.
It is sometimes referred to as the Algerian tangerine but it must not be confused with satsuma!
The Californians grow them in November and are referred to as the Christmas orange
Also almost 10% of a single clementine is sugar so completely hopeless for dieting!
So now that you know the blatantly obvious differences between these citrus fruits (I feel such a complete fool for being so confused in the first place) you can proudly waltz down the aisles of Tescos and speak with complete authority on this complex subject.Furthermore you may wish to ask your family and freinds whether they know the difference and then impress them with your new found knowledge.

Satsumas, Mandarin Tangerines and Clementines -what's the difference?
