The Tangerine Guy
View large Explore #467
The Tangerine Guy offering a host of different qualities of fruit in
Old Cairo, Egypt.
I love the contrast of his blue thobe against the orange of the tangerines. The yellow of the bananas in the distance also add a nice mix.
The tangerine is an orange (or red) colored citrus fruit. They are smaller than most oranges, and the skin of some varieties peels off more easily. The taste is often less sour, or tart, than that of an orange.
Odd fact: Historically, the name tangerine comes from Tangier, Morocco, the port from which the first tangerines were shipped to Europe. The adjective tangerine, from Tangier or Tanger, was first recorded as an English word in 1710.
