If you start to turn your head after reading how these fruits differ, you may not be in a rush googlinti. Vilma Juodkazienė, food expert at retail chain Iki, presents their differences and essential properties to the media in a press release.
Clementines are named after a hybrid of tangerine and orange, so it is no wonder that, at first glance, these fruits may appear identical. Clementines grow in Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, as well as China and California.
According to V. Juodkazienė, despite the fact that both mandarins and clementines are species of mandarins, knowing the distinctive characteristics of these lemons, it is not difficult to distinguish between them. It presents the main differences between mandarins and clementines.

Size. You can tell clementines from tangerines by their size – clementines are the smallest in the mandarin family.
Colour. The skin of clementines is a rich orange color, while the color of tangerines is slightly paler.
Shape. Tangerines are slightly flattened, while clementines are rounder in shape and resemble small oranges.
Structure of the skin. The enlarged pores are clearly visible on the peel of the tangerine, which is not typical for clementines. The thickness of the peel also varies: when you take clementine in your hands, you will feel that the skin is thinner than that of the mandarin.
Seedlings Tired of collecting seeds while eating? This will not be necessary when eating clementines.
Taste. Clementines differ from mandarins by their more pronounced sweetness and juiciness.

1. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C, cooking function – no fan.
2. For the caramelized mandarins, bring the water to a boil in a pot, add all the honey and the finely sliced mandarins. Boil over medium heat for about 25 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated. Let cool completely.
3. Prepare the baking dish. Unscrew the mold and place a sheet of baking paper (larger than necessary) on the bottom, pressing the sides. From the protruding edges of the parchment paper, cut two 5cm wide strips and place them on the sides of the pan so that everything is covered and the baked cookie is easy to remove.
4. Beat the softened butter at room temperature with the maple syrup with an electric mixer. We beat 2 egg yolks (we separate the proteins in a clean and dry container) and add fresh mandarin juice. In another bowl, sift the flour and add the baking powder. We mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones.
5. Beat the egg whites in a separate clean bowl until stiff foam and carefully add to batter in portions.
6. Place caramelized mandarin oranges in the bottom of the baking dish – you will need ~ 11 slices. Pour the batter on top and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. After baking, let it cool completely. We cool the chilled cookie on a plate so that the tangerines are on top.
