Im eating the tinest tangerine

I have ever eaten. Have no clue if they even are tangerines. They are delicious and very sweet. If I had my way I could eat a dozen of them and maybe it may equal 4 oranges?

Here's one in my hand.



Same one with a ruler beside it
and a 4 inch diameter snack bowl filled with 3 tangerines worth of sections.



The size of 1 section with a ruler

If so what kind are they? I got these at my day program I got 18 of them cause nobody wanted them. Guess maybe they thought it wouldn't be worth the effort to peel them. They are so easy to peel too. Omg its so worth it they are just so good.

They’re both seedless, sweet as can be, and way easy to peel. Cuties are mandarin oranges and Halos are clementines.

I love them because one of those with my sandwich won’t spike my blood sugar, where if I have an orange, I can only eat half.

I’ve also found that a few stores around sell smaller “kid’s lunch box” sized apples in Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp!

I had 3 with my burger and spinach (I do keto) and no sugar spike. Most of the time I eat one. Today I decided to eat 3.Because I have to use them up soon as some are getting a little over ripe. I know 1/2 an orange,then you put the half in the fridge it either gets funky in the bag or the membranes dry out of you don't bag it.
I prefer the crunchy membranes.

I am diabetic too. So I know what you mean. Clementines are just the perfect size.
