Soft, easy-peeling citrus fruits include clementines, mandarins, satsumas and tangerines. The figures here describe the flesh only, without the peel. These fruits mainly provide water and carbohydrate, along with vitamin C and some fibre. Per 100g, the flesh contains 9.6g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 1.5g of fibre and 42mg of vitamin C.
Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Fibre contributes to normal bowel function. The sugars in whole citrus fruit occur naturally within the fruit’s structure, rather than being added sugars. For people monitoring carbohydrate intake, these sugars still contribute to the total carbohydrate content. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (22 samples, early and late winter, including clementines, mandarins, satsumas and tangerines). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
