Canned mandarin segments are peeled to remove the white pith prior to canning; otherwise, they turn bitter.

also the mandarin oranges has a lot of other names (one including tangerines)

I buy seedless mandarins at my local farmers market all the time. For some reason the main stream grocery stores seem to carry oranges and tangerines but mandarins are harder to find. In Northern California the closest in a grocery store is a box of "cuties"
