What to know about tangerine
A tangerine is really a type of mandarin, and it inherits the same trigger profile rather than a milder one. It acts as a histamine liberator, runs high in salicylates and sits high in oxalate, so despite being an easygoing, low-drug-interaction citrus it can still bring on flushing, itching or stone-forming risk in people who are sensitive to those pathways.
Watch for
- Histamine liberator, capable of triggering flushing, hives or headaches without being high in histamine itself
- High in salicylates, so it belongs on the watch list for anyone with salicylate sensitivity
- High in oxalate, relevant for a low-oxalate diet or a history of calcium-oxalate stones
- Not a notable FODMAP concern, so digestive complaints usually point elsewhere
