Store tangerines preferably outside the fridge, in a cool (12-15°C), dark place. They will then keep for 5 to 10 days.
Preparation
Tangerines are ideal for eating on the go as a snack. Tangerine segments can also be used in a salad or fruit wrap.

Cleaning tangerines
Tangerines are easier to peel than oranges because they are looser in their skin. Also, the segments detach from each other faster.
