Tangerines are
good for the
eyes and the
memory and
contain very
much vitamin C
The clergyman
Pierre Clement
crossed a
mandarin and
an orange and
the result of this
lucky crossing
was a seedless
mandarin
with a looser
skin, making it
easier to peel:
the Clementine.
The satsuma is
a crossing from
Japan. If
someone knows
why the fruit is
called that way
please email us.
Tangerines are
called mandarins
in Europe after
high chinese
officials who
cultivated them
thousands of
years ago.
The best
tangerines can
easily be selected
in the store with
your nose.
They have a
strong and
sweet smell.
Tangerines are
great fruits to
meet your 5
pieces of fruit
a day, they're
handy 'pocket
fruits. Take
them with you.
5-a-day-Tip:
squeeze two
oranges and a
grapefruit in the
morning and
have two
tangerines
during the day.
Tangerines are
citrus fruit, like
oranges and
grapefruits and
are acid fruits.
Acid fruits
detoxify the
body and are
good for the
skin.

with citrus
if you just
have
brushed your
teeth. The
tooth paste
and acid
together is
very bad
for your
teeth.
Have 5 pieces
