Today, my office had a very serious discussion on clementines vs. tangerines. There was heated discussion that clementines were a brand of tangerines like the cuties brand. Being the google-queen that I am, I just opted to google it, and you know what, you learn something new everyday.
Clementines and tangerines are members of the mandarin family which is in a class of oranges that are flatters on the top and bottom. Clementines are seedless and are the smallest of the mandarins. They are also very orange and easy to peel. Tangerines are of a lighter orange color and can contain seeds. The flavor is also more tart than a clementine.
How's me, dropping some knowledge! God, I love Google.
Right! Got it...regardless, the addition of a clementine or a tangerine or a mandarine orange to any salad magically makes it an ORIENTAL salad...poof...or shall I say GONG!!!!!
