The difference between tangerines and oranges, the effects and functions of tangerines

When people go to the market to buy fruit, they are told that they are tangerines, even though they look like oranges. At this time, people especially want to know the difference between them and want to easily distinguish them when buying fruit. In fact, tangerines are a hybrid variety of oranges, and the difference between the two is not obvious. Below I will specifically introduce this issue and tell you what effects tangerines have.

The difference between tangerines and oranges

1. There are some differences in appearance between tangerines and oranges, because tangerines are of uniform size, most of which have a trunk diameter of about 5 cm after maturity, while oranges are of different sizes, with diameters ranging from 2 to 8 cm. The peel color of tangerines and oranges is also different, with the peel of tangerines mostly yellow-orange, while the peel of oranges is orange-yellow or green.

2. There are certain differences in taste between tangerines and oranges. The taste of tangerines is relatively mild. They are neither too sweet nor too sour. The taste of oranges is more extreme. Some varieties of oranges taste particularly sour, while some taste particularly sweet. This is a natural phenomenon caused by the different content of fruit acid and sugar in different oranges.

The efficacy and function of tangerine

1. Beauty and anti-fatigue

People who eat more tangerines can absorb rich vitamin C, which can not only improve the body's immune function, but also inhibit pigment accumulation and reduce the formation of spots. It can make people's skin white and smooth. The citric acid contained in it can also accelerate the metabolism of lactic acid in the human body, and lactic acid is an important cause of human fatigue. Therefore, people who eat more tangerines can also improve their body's anti-fatigue ability.

2. Protect cardiovascular system

Citrus glycosides have a significant protective effect on human cardiovascular system. It also contains some natural concentrated essences, which can increase the permeability and toughness of blood vessels, delay blood vessel aging, and prevent blood vessel rigidity and aging. The pectin and dietary fiber contained in citrus can promote the metabolism of cholesterol in the body, prevent the increase of blood lipids and blood pressure, and keep people's cardiovascular system young and healthy.
