Tag: Seedless citrus

Tango fruit, often marketed as 'seedless Tango,' is a scientifically developed variety, whereas 'mandarin' is a broad category of small, easy-to-peel citrus fruits. The primary difference lies in their origin and genetics: Tango is a specific, low-seeded mandarin hybrid created from the W. Murcott mandarin. This distinction explains the differences in their seed content, ease of peeling, and taste profile.

The first navel orange tree was discovered as a genetic mutation in a Brazilian monastery orchard in the early 1800s, producing a unique, seedless fruit. Today, this fascinating history is just one of many reasons why navel oranges are considered a citrus superstar, celebrated for their convenience, flavor, and distinct characteristics.
