MANDARINS are Different Things - Comparing Clementines, Tangerines & Satsumas- Weird Fruit Explorer

Which Mandarin do you like best?

you should try and get your hands on a phoenix mandarin. they're ginormous and super popular in australia when they're in season. we have an insane amount of mandarin varieties in our supermarkets over here. surprisingly none of the ones in your video 😅

Cross a Minneola Tangelo with a Clementine and you get a Sugar Belle. It has the bell shape on top just like the Honeybell.

Why hot climate orange fruit are green colour

The satsumas are sweeter if you grow them in a more northern climate, they tolerate down to -15C and its the cold that really ups the flavour as they mature.
I bought many from a guy who buy bulks from Spain to my country (Sweden) and I bought like 10kg few years back and got 2 seeds and grew them :D They taste better here then the ones coming from Spain.

Cuties are two types of different mandarins during one season. They are clementines during another season they are murcotts

You didn’t eat the satsuma peel.

Difference between mandarin and orange is

Mandarin is nature made
And orange is man made

Which ones do they put in the cans that come from China? I'm guessing it's probably Clementines. They don't have much sweetness at all.

I watched this while eating clementines

Cara Cara are my favorite citrus.

I do believe that's a tangerine*

The tangerines I remember were very easy to peel but no longer available in my area

Easy to peal been my go to since like 2008 never fails 😂except the bitter batches..

Cuties are clementine okay thanks lol I never did any research on this

Side note I am very bothered by the way you peel them, I’ve always dug my thumb in from the top or bottom of the mandarin and start peeling from there. Never thought I’d see someone start peeling from the side 😂

To me the name Clementine reminds me of the word Calamondin.

All of these cultivars can vary quite a bit depending on the rootstock they've been grafted onto. Almost assuredly none of those were grown with their original roots but have been grafted.

Page mandarins are for juicing. Cut it in half and twist it on your juicer.

Ease of peeling depends on ripeness. So does the acidity level. How can all these be ripe at the same time?

When I was young, satsuma was a plum. Samsung plum wine

Ty! I have a lovely satsuma in my backyard. I waited too long unfortunately this year and when I went to harvest them they were soft and squishy👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
I just cleaned it up real nice under there and need to give it a good drink and some good food ! Lov these lil gems!

why do you peel the mandarin like that? clawing your fingers on a random piece of skin
are you doing it for the camera or do you regularly peel it like that?

Recently I've been trying to find clementines in stores but for some reason all the brands like Cuties are labeled as "mandarin oranges" now. I assume they're still just clementines, so does anyone know why all the brands changed their packaging?

The thing is there are always a few really hard to peel ones in any bag of "E-Z" peel fruits. And they are ostensibly all the same variety. Anyway, this video was just terrific and helped me spot the differences in a family of citrus that many people probably assume is all the same fruit.

Jeju Island has it all and more. Citrus heaven

When I was in Korea a few months ago, I ate a ton of satsuma everyday. I noticed that some, maybe 25-30%, are significantly more sweet and flavorful than others. I don't know why that would be.

In Brazil we have small mandarins (popularly called Mexerica, pretty easy to peel) and large varieties, larger than an orange, called Ponkan or Dekopon. One of my favourite juices is a blend of Persian Lime (I have a tree on my front yard) and Mandarin. Delicious!

I personally love satsumas, especially with how easy they are to peel. We rarely get tangerines in my region of the US, and we never got any of these fruits in school lunches, that would have been way fancier than the terrible apples we got

Please help me because I need to clear my face of acne.

Where do I get satsuma manderins?

My darling Clementine was lost and gone forever

Loved satsumas for years, but then discovered SUMO wayyyy better quite a bit uglier than all the rest and ithink maybe 15% pomelo, seedless, even easier to peel & by far most delicious. won't buy any others ever again!!! Albertsons and Trader Joes.... Please include these in your analysis!!♥♥♥♥♥

Mandarins are shit

Neet trick just call them oranges lol

I question if the original mandarins are no longer here how could they keep up the hybridization without the original parent?

I am currently enjoying satsuma watching this video rn🤣

ur supposed to poke in on the top or bottom to open it

The sounds you make when eating are absolutely disgusting. Blocking this channel.

Original wild mandarins still exist in parts of China! One example is mangshanyeju (not to be confused with mangshanyegan, another wild citrus that grows in the area).

I always wait until mandarins are just slightly starting to get soft and a little wrinkly, thats usually when they're the sweetest.

Their all just different types of oranges. Give me a break.

What about “santra”, “mousambi”, “Kinoo”, “meetha nimboo”, “Malta” orange type citrus fruits from India look nothing like what you got.

Overgrown kumquats

Show me your citrus peels.

Best thing about satsumas, and other similar mandarins, is that you can get them ready to eat very easily, unlike many other fruits. Bananas are oaky too but not refreshing like satsumas.

In Bangladesh Satsuma is the most common one but we call it orange

I’ve heard satsumas are more popular in England than North America. I learned about them from the Mighty Boosh.

In Ft. Walton Beach, Fl, my Korean aunt had a citrus tree with the most sour mandarin ever. It was so good! It had warhead levels of sour, with a delightful level of sweet and citrus. Wish I could grow it here in Northeast Texas.

Wait a minute… my dad has had a satsuma tree all this time? We always just called it a tangerine because they were pretty big, but what stands out about them is that the peels were always so easy to remove.

"Clementines are mandarins".... Proceeds to explain that Clementines are a hybrid of actual Mandarins and Sweet Oranges... 🤣
