My order of preference is mandarin oranges, clementines, and tangerines, but even navel and blood oranges can be peeled by hand and the only mess they leave is the oil from the skin. In general as long as you don’t break the segments you can avoid a mess.
I think citrus fruits that really stick to their rind are not as ripe as they could be. Any if the smaller fruit like tangerines, mandarins etc usually pull apart from the skin easily and the segments pull apart too so it’s not too messy. Winter is citrus season so if you look at like, specialty stores or whole foods around February there should be a bunch of different varieties of tangerines
I wanna know what kind you get that don’t leave you covered in juice and sticky. Those are a real rare occurrence for me.
