There are a lot of different fruits out there – so from time
to time it’s understandable that we all get a little bit mixed up with what’s
what. So many of them look pretty much the same, taste relatively similar and
have reasonably repetitive names. So it’s no surprise that we've all got a little bit confused at one time or another.
Luckily the team at Fruit For The Office are highly knowledgeable
in the field of fruit so they can answer any questions you may have when you’re
putting together your fruit delivery.
But for now we’ve put together a list of the most confusing
culprits to help you on the way to fruit recognition.

yellowish, it’s an apricot

Tangerines
If you've been struggling to tell your clems from your
tanges here’s how you do it. Clementines are seedless, hard to peel and have a shiny
skin. Tangerines on the other hand have seeds, a matt lose skin and taste quite
tangy.
