Mandarins (also known as Tangerines and Kinnow) are globose to oblate in shape with a shiny skin that comes in a range of colors from green, greenish-yellow, yellow to golden . Their skin is thin, peels easily and encloses flesh that can separate into nine to 15 wedges. The segments are covered with a very thin, edible transparent skin. Mandarin oranges have even more beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin than common oranges , making them excellent additions to your diet
