How to choose tangerines

When choosing a tangerine, you should first look at its appearance. A good quality tangerine has an oblate appearance, and the flesh is bright orange-red after peeling. There are a lot of small sand spots on its peel, and it feels smooth and rough when touched. You can also taste it to see if it is juicy and sweet. When tasting it, you should pay special attention to see if the tangerine is free of residue and seeds. If there is residue after eating, it means it is a fake tangerine.
