tangerines

Loose-skinned oranges

Tangerines is the plural of tangerine, a small citrus fruit with loose, easily peeled skin and sweet-tart flesh.

Tangerines are smaller and less acidic than oranges, often eaten fresh or sectioned into salads: She packed tangerines in the kids' lunches.

The name comes from Tangier, the Moroccan port city.
