SATSUMA MANDARIN
The Mandarin orange includes several varieties of citrus fruit, including the Mandarin (China), Tangerine (named for Tangier, Morocco, where they were first imported from China), Dancy, Clementine and Satsuma (Japan). They vary in size, sweetness, and whether they have seeds or not, but they all have loose skins that slip off easily. They were introduced into the U.S. in 1882. Most canned mandarin oranges are made from Satsumas.
