A mandarin orange is a category of tangerine. It has a light
orange color, with a mild, sweet flavor and few seeds. Citrus
fruits like mandarin oranges contain vitamin C, an antioxidant,
which stops free radicals from damaging cells. Vitamin C is
thought by some to enhance the immune system by stimulating
the activities of white blood cells and anticancer agents.
