About Clementine
A clementine is a small citrus fruit in the mandarin group, commonly peeled and eaten fresh. It is also sold as juice or as peeled segments packed in cans, but those processed forms differ from the fresh fruit. The fresh fruit has a thin orange rind that is usually easy to remove and separates into segments.
The flesh is juicy and tender, with a sweet, fragrant citrus flavour and generally mild acidity. Clementines are often seedless, though seeds may occur. Their size, sweetness and juiciness vary with cultivar, ripeness and storage. The rind can be used as zest, but it is not usually eaten as part of the fruit.
