Description
A clementine is a variety of mandarin orange, with a deep, orange color exterior and a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines separate easily into seven to fourteen fat-juicy segments. They are very easy to peel, like a tangerine, but are almost always seedless. For this reason, they are also known simply as seedless tangerines. They are typically juicy and sweet, with less acid than oranges; a great snack for a hot day outside, or if you’re thirsty and want a healthy, on-the-go refresher.
