The uniqueness of tangerines
A distinctive feature of sweet fruits is their ability not to accumulate nitrates. Unlike other representatives of citrus fruits, all parts of mandarin have beneficial properties.
A large number of microelements necessary for the human body are contained in its peel.
Due to the peculiarity of not accumulating nitric acid salts, which are used as fertilizers, mandarin is used in cooking and pharmaceuticals. This allows the fruits to be used not only in dietary, but also in therapeutic nutrition.

- pectins;
- lemon acid;
- potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron;
- alimentary fiber;
- sucrose, fructose;
- vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, D, K, PP.
Ripe fruits have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. They are used as a natural antibacterial agent due to their high content of phytoncides.
Even after heat treatment, the fruits retain most of their beneficial properties. Tangerines can be dried and frozen, and made into juices and jam.
Eating sweet fruits helps improve the functioning of the digestive system. 1-2 medium fruits per day help strengthen the central nervous system and relieve stress. Fresh fruits relieve swelling and prevent the formation of cholesterol plaques. They are recommended to be included in the menu for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and correction of body weight.
The beneficial properties are due to its composition:
- Fiber stimulates intestinal function.
- Organic acids increase the production of enzymes and gastric juice.
- Water fills the stomach and promotes quick satiety.
There are several types of tangerines: tangerine, clementine, tangelo, mineola and unshiu. All of them are low-calorie foods and have similar properties.
Calorie content of peel and zest
When determining your calorie intake, it is important to calculate the nutritional value of each meal, including snacks. Often people ignore the need to count the calorie content of all foods that enter the body. Because of this, it becomes difficult to calculate the exact caloric content of the diet.
When using peels and zests, it is necessary to take into account that, regardless of the variety, they contain 34-38 kcal.
There is no need to stop eating the crust. Some people add it to baked goods, others make candied fruits or use it in making infusions. The peel and zest contain beta-carotene, vitamins A and P, which are necessary to improve heart function and prevent disorders in the functioning of the vascular system. Also includes:
- glycosides;
- phytoncides;
- pectin;

Regular consumption of tangerines with skin prevents the formation of cholesterol plaques. This method of eating fruits helps normalize digestion and relieve cough.
Fresh
The beauty of tangerine, in addition to its taste, lies in the ease of separating the skin from the pulp, which makes it superior to orange and grapefruit. Some varieties lack seeds. But a large amount of vitamin C, like other citrus fruits, is present. At the same time, ascorbic acid remains in fruits for such a long time that even last year’s harvest is beneficial and nutritious. In general, tangerine is a fruit quite rich in vitamins and minerals. Thanks to the ideal ratio of sodium and potassium, citrus acts as a good decongestant, and the antiseptic and phytoncidal properties allow the fruit to prevent respiratory diseases.
Experts point out that orange slices are useful for a number of pathological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, and also treat helminths. It has been established that their regular use restores strength and reduces blood pressure. Considering the high content of essential oils, which have a positive effect on the psycho-emotional state, it becomes obvious that the fruit can be called the best way to improve mood.
Important! If you eat at least one tangerine every day, almost all organs and systems of the body will return to normal, including the cardiovascular system.
Another invaluable quality of citrus fruits is the acceleration of the weight loss process. Firstly, they help normalize metabolism and reduce blood sugar levels. Secondly, they are fruits with low energy value - on average it is at the level of 38 kcal per 100 g, and the calorie content of 1 piece, the weight of which often reaches 50-60 g, is about 20 kcal.
The calorie content of tangerine without peel is also average, reaching 27 kcal per 100 grams. Why are indicators taken on average? This is primarily due to the existence of different varieties of citrus products, differing in taste, color, size, and the presence or absence of seeds. Spanish and Israeli fruits are always sweet, as well as the Temple, Robinson, Mineola and Honey varieties.
All tangerines, regardless of variety, size and other factors, are very beneficial both for the figure and for the body as a whole.
Moroccan citrus fruits deserve special attention from Russian consumers. They are very sweet, although they have a pit. The calorie content of tangerines from Morocco is 39.5 kcal per 100 g.
In addition to the “traditional” orange fruits, you can find more sophisticated ones on store shelves:
- Clementine
A fruit called Clementine (also known as red tangerine) is also very popular. In fact, it is a hybrid of a king orange and a mandarin. Externally, it is not much different from ordinary citrus, except that it has a more intense peel color and a large number of seeds. It is noteworthy that Clementine reaches a medium size, and even looks small in comparison with traditional tangerines. Due to their pronounced sweetness, the calorie content of small tangerines is higher - about 47 kcal per 100 g, but the figure does not go beyond what is allowed when losing weight.
- Satsuma
The plant is a variety of tangerine. The fruits, flattened on both sides, are covered with a thin orange-colored peel, under which there is juicy pulp. It contains virtually no seeds. The energy value of 100 g of Satsuma is no more than 53 kcal. Average weight 1 pc. – 70 grams.
Important! The glycemic index of fruit can reach up to 50 units (usually from 46 to 49), which also depends on the variety. This is higher than the GI of apples and zucchini, but lower than the GI of watermelon, dates and dried apricots. It is worth considering that the glycemic index of the whole fruit is lower than that of freshly squeezed juice!
Tangerines are a healthy and positive snack, but their culinary qualities are not limited to this. Aromatic juice is squeezed out of the fruits, preserves and jams are prepared, they are added to baked goods and desserts, and sometimes even to meat. The peel is used to make zest, candied fruits and dry rinds - this is an excellent seasoning for poultry dishes.
When choosing bright citrus, you need to pay attention to the integrity of the skin, which should be free from dents, abrasions and dark spots. You should avoid buying dry and dull fruits, as their pulp may be spoiled. Store the product in a cool place. Optimally - in a special compartment of the refrigerator for fruits and vegetables.
Calorie content of dried tangerines
When planning to diversify your diet with dried fruits, you should be careful. This need is due to the fact that they have a high calorie content. 100 grams of dried tangerine fruits contain about 230 kcal. In order for the body to receive this number of calories, you need to eat 5-7 fruits. Candied fruits made from peel and pulp are many times superior in nutritional value to all fresh fruits. Dried candied tangerines can contain more than 520 kcal per 100 g of product.
People who control their caloric intake and watch their figure should not get carried away with even small dried tangerines. The weight of dried fruit can be about 10-20 g, but even 1 fruit is enough to deliver more than 100 kilocalories to the body. It’s difficult to call them useful for people losing weight. They contain a minimal amount of proteins and fats, but too many carbohydrates.
Benefits of fruits
Dried tangerines are prepared by long drying or smoking. But more often on store shelves you can find sweets that are made by boiling fruits in sugar syrup. In such delicacies the content of useful substances will be kept to a minimum, because... Most vitamins disappear during heat treatment.
Dried tangerines, unlike dried and cooked in syrup, retain most of the beneficial substances in their composition. They are recommended for use by those people who need to stimulate the immune system, help the body cope with infections or recover from illness. Dried fruits have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect on the body.
But in cases when you want something sweet, it is better to eat 2 dried tangerines than several chocolates or other store-bought sweets. You can get the minimum amount of calories and maximum benefits for the body if you include the peels of these citrus fruits in your diet. They help relieve sore throats and relieve coughs and runny noses. This effect is due to the inclusion of a large number of essential oils in their composition.

Preparation of dried tangerines
You can make a healthy treat at home. To dry the fruits of the tangerine tree:
- in direct sunlight on hot days;
- in the oven;
- in a special dryer for fruits.
You can dry fruits outside provided there is low humidity and temperatures above 25 °C. There is no point in trying to dry them whole; first, the fruits should be peeled and divided into slices. It is better not to break the shell of each of them, so you cannot remove the seeds.
You can receive a useful product after 3-5 days. Tangerines do not spoil in the sun due to the fact that they contain saccharides and citric acid. But it is better to lay them out on wooden surfaces, because... upon contact with aluminum or copper, the oxidation process will begin.
In an electric dryer, it is enough to place the slices on plastic shelves and select a processing program. After a few hours, the fruit will be dried and ready to eat.
It’s a little more difficult to prepare a delicacy in a gas oven. It is important to correctly determine the optimal temperature for drying. You can preserve the maximum of nutrients if you dry the slices at temperatures up to 80 °C. They must be carefully separated and placed on a baking sheet covered with parchment.
When preparing dried fruits yourself, you can be sure that no harmful substances or sugar have been added to them. Also, every culinary specialist knows the number of calories contained in one tangerine, since he is aware that the slices were not dipped in sugar syrup or processed in any other way.
How many calories are in tangerine
The calorie content of a fruit depends on the form in which it is eaten. Thus, fresh fruits contain only 40 to 55 calories per 100 g. Natural tangerine juice has even less calories - no more than 36 calories per 100 ml of drink. But dried fruits are quite nutritious - 100 g contains from 280 to 300 calories.
How much does a tangerine weigh? Very small fruits can weigh only 30 g, large citrus fruits weigh up to 110 g. Therefore, the nutritional value of the product also depends on how much it is consumed.
Benefits of tangerine peel

- pectins;
- provitamin A;
- sugar;
- vitamins C, P, B;

Are tangerines and oranges foods with negative calories?
Negative calorie foods are very important for those who are losing weight and counting calories. Understanding negative calories is very simple.
- For example, 100 grams of green salad have only 33 kcal.
- When you eat 100 grams of salad, your body spends approximately 150 kcal on digesting them.
- This process includes chewing, saliva production, enzyme production, digestion, and so on.

Mandarin
Product Description
Mandarin (lat. Citrus reticulata) is the fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus (Citrus) of the Rutaceae family. This is a citrus fruit 4-6 cm in diameter, slightly flattened from the base to the top, so that its width is noticeably greater than its height. The peel of the tangerine is thin and does not adhere tightly to the pulp. There are 10-12 segments in one fruit, they are well separated from each other (perhaps better than any other popular citrus fruit), their pulp is yellow-orange, sweeter than orange. Tangerine smells stronger than many other citrus fruits.
Mandarin is native to southern China and southeastern Indochina. It was brought to Europe at the beginning of the 19th century. Now mandarin is widely cultivated throughout the southern and western Mediterranean (for example, in Morocco, Algeria, Spain, Southern France), as well as in Japan, China, Indochina, Argentina. Tangerines are grown closest to our country in the countries of Transcaucasia.
Mandarin fruits are a valuable dietary fruit that increases appetite, improves metabolism and saturates the body with vitamins in winter. Tangerines and tangerine juice have a general strengthening effect on the body, promote digestion, and, thanks to their phytoncidal properties, have an antimicrobial effect.
An alcoholic tincture of tangerine peel increases appetite, improves digestion, softens inflammatory secretions in the bronchi and upper respiratory tract, and promotes mucus separation. In oriental medicine, tincture of the peel, as well as its water infusion or decoction, was used for bronchitis, nausea, as an antitussive and a digestive improver.

How to cook

Tangerine peel is used as a substitute for orange peel in the preparation of various medicines, infusions, syrups, extracts, as well as in the food industry.
Season
The season for most tangerine varieties lasts from November to April . However, they are sold in stores all year round.
How to select and store
Look at the tangerine peel. Dried, limp or sometimes woody skin indicates that the fruit has been lying around for a long time or is overripe. An unripe tangerine is heavy, the skin is almost all green and is very difficult to peel off. A sign of a low-quality tangerine is the presence of mold, brown spots or areas of rot.
You can easily determine the ripeness of a tangerine by the ratio of its size to weight, since all ripe tangerines always weigh less than they seem at first glance.
Sweet tangerines are characterized by bright orange skin. Sometimes you can find sweet tangerines with yellow peel. Sweet tangerines are usually medium in size.
Sour tangerines are characterized by a flattened shape. Sour tangerines are often slightly lighter than sweet varieties.
Light-weight tangerines usually have hard fiber, have many seeds and do not have an optimal volume of liquid.
To determine the ripeness of a tangerine, lightly squeeze its skin: the ripe fruit will squirt out droplets of juice. Also, after pressing, a ripe tangerine will easily return to its shape.
Tangerines are best preserved in a special compartment of the refrigerator, where they do not rot or dry out for almost a month. But even in this case, the fruits must be regularly inspected: if before the vegetables were stored for storage, the rotting process had already begun in the fruits and they were spoiled, then a decrease in temperature will not stop it.
At room temperature, tangerines deteriorate even faster, and in a too warm room they also dry out, losing not only their beneficial properties, but also their taste.
In winter, you can store tangerines on an insulated balcony, where the temperature does not drop below six degrees Celsius. At the same time, they should lie in a ventilated box.
The popular method of storing fruit in a plastic bag is actually bad: it creates high humidity in the bag and the fruit suffocates.
There is an opinion that fruits on which a branch has been preserved remain fresh longer, but such fruits are extremely rare on sale, so this advice is more suitable for those who can pick fruits from a branch on their own.
The benefits of tangerines for the body
