Tangerines are a beloved staple of the autumn and winter seasons, cherished for their sweet, fruity taste.

While their flavor is irresistible, peeling them can often be a hassle.

Removing the peel piece by piece, all while trying to avoid getting bits of it stuck under your fingernails, can quickly become frustrating.

However, a simple and quick trick is making the rounds online: Instead of peeling the tangerine as usual, you should simply cut the fruit in half crosswise.

And it gets even easier after that: Once you’ve cut the tangerine in half, take one half in both hands. Then, press the slices outward with your thumbs—and they pop out effortlessly.

This method not only saves time but also leaves no annoying peel residue under your fingernails.

This trick works so well that it’s sure to impress everyone the next time you eat tangerines—especially your friends and family.
