I also believe they are mandarines, or of the same family. The difference in look and taste is due to the environment where they grow, I think...

> Based on the description and images, the fruit you're referring to is likely a sweet lime or sweet lemon, also known as mosambi in India.

It's popular in tropical regions and is known for being refreshing and nutritious.
