Clementine

Clementines are small, sweet citrus fruits known for their vibrant orange color, easy-to-peel skin, and juicy segments. They offer a bright, tangy-sweet flavor with subtle floral notes, making them a favorite for snacking and cooking. Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, clementines are a healthy, refreshing choice for adding natural sweetness and zest to recipes. Their seedless nature and tender texture make them particularly appealing for kids and convenient for culinary use.

Common Uses

  • Incorporate clementines into baked goods like cakes, muffins, or tarts for a naturally sweet and tangy flavor profile.
  • Blend clementines into smoothies or juices for a refreshing, nutrient-packed beverage with a vibrant citrus taste.
  • Make homemade clementine jam or marmalade to spread on toast or use as a glaze for desserts and meats.

Storage Tips

Store clementines in a cool, dry place at room temperature if you plan to consume them within a few days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator's crisper drawer to maintain freshness and juiciness for up to two weeks. Avoid storing them in sealed plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and lead to mold growth.
