Sweet and juicy fruits have a smooth and shiny skin.
Particular attention should be paid to weight.
It is believed that the heavier the fruit, the tastier it is.

If there is no smell, this means that they are not ripe yet.
Ripe tangerines have a rich aroma that can be felt from a short distance.
You shouldn't take dull, greenish and loose tangerines.
In addition, they should not have any defects or stains.
The presence of such problems indicates poor quality and taste of the fruit.
If you want to buy tangerines for the New Year's table, you shouldn't do it too early.
