The main difference between rake mandarin and ugly mandarin:

1. The time of listing is different

Many people think that the listing time of rake mandarin and ugly mandarin is the same, which is at the beginning of March. In fact, the beginning of March is a large number of rake mandarin season, but from the year before December, rake mandarin has been on the market one after another.

And the ugly citrus must be in March to mature on the market, so in the listing time above, the rake citrus is earlier than the ugly citrus. So the ones you can eat a year ago, which many people think are ugly mandarin, are actually rake mandarin.

2. The taste is not the same

The sweetness of rake citrus will be relatively high, eat in the mouth, then very delicate, juicy, basically sour taste is not eaten.

But the ugly citrus is sweet and sour flavor, so in addition to the sweet taste in the mouth, there will also be sour taste. Even some ugly citrus will feel particularly sour. In addition, the ugly citrus will have crumbs in the mouth, so it is not as delicate as the rake mandarin, so the taste and texture, the rake mandarin and the ugly citrus, there are some big differences between them.
