📅 Availability Calendarīelow you will find what variety is in a box or bag of Cuties or Halos during the season:
Grocery stores change through similar products and won't often update the sign to reflect that, leading to consumer confusion.
Look for what it says on the package, not the store sign. List of names you may see grocery stores use interchangeably even if they aren't the exact same thing - Mandarins, tangerines, Clementine mandarins, Halos mandarins, Halos clementines, Cutie tangerines, Halo oranges, Clementine, Cutie oranges, etc. Just look at the calendar and you will have an idea of what you are really getting. Often I see grocery stores naming even the Murcotts as Clementines as that name as more recognition. The other mandarin commonly used is the W. In fact, Clementines are only available during the beginning part of the citrus season (from November to January). They are not always the Clementine variety. Cuties and Halos are different types of mandarins depending on what time of year it is. Here is something that I don't think most people know. When mandarins are canned, they are called mandarin oranges, further adding to the confusion!Ī Clementine is a type of mandarin. Is true they are both orange! I categorize an orange as being a large piece of fruit like a Navel orange, Cara Cara, or Blood oranges. Many people will also interchange oranges with mandarins. It does not have to be seedless but in the case of Cuties and Halos, it is. A mandarin is "a small flattish citrus fruit with a loose skin, especially a variety with yellow-orange skin" (thank you Google dictionary). Whether it's a Cutie or a Halo it is a mandarin. If you answered D you are correct! How can that be? Let's start with the most basic thing. Clementine Glazed Boneless Skinless Chicken ThighsĪre Cuties and Halos the same thing? Is the answer.In the process I am doing my part to prevent any of these terms from becoming the next Kleenex (genericized term to refer to all facial tissues). I am going to shine my years of produce experience on the subject today and talk about what is the difference between the popular Cuties and Halos. The world of single serving, easy to peel citrus can leave one wondering. We got sweet potatoes sometimes called yams, we called cabbage that looks clearly purple, red cabbage, and what are those little orange fruits that come in 5 pound boxes? Clementines, Cuties, Halos, Dimples, Suki, Tangerines, Mandarins? The produce world can be a confusing place at times. Cookies will be used to track the affiliate links you click.
