Mandarins are citrus fruits.  They originate from Asia and only came to Europe in 1805 through the English. The so-called Mediterranean mandarins developed from these mandarins.

The origin of the name "mandarin" is disputed. Some sources claim the name comes from the orange color of the official robes of the high officials of the Chinese Empire, the mandarins. Others believe that the mandarin was considered the most valuable citrus fruit in China and, more than the others, the fruit of the rich, i.e. , also of the mandarins, the high government officials.

Today, a whole group of citrus fruits is grouped together under the collective term mandarin. These citrus fruits, of which satsumas, tangerines, and clementines are the best known, originated from crosses between oranges and mandarins.

They are aromatic and sweet in taste.

There is also the Minneola, a cross between a mandarin and a grapefruit. The orange also originates from a cross between a pomelo and a mandarin. gurkerl. gurkerl. at/uploads/Carlos/Iberhanse/Mandarinen%20Baum. jpg" width="600" loading="lazy">
