When winter arrives, the clementine arrives like a little breath of sunshine in our lives.
Easy to peel, sweet, juicy, low in acidity... the clementine is the perfect ally for winter snacks, fruit baskets, and even gourmet end-of-year gifts. It's one of the rare fruits capable of pleasing everyone, without exception!
🍴 How to consume and store it?
Clementines can be stored at room temperature for a few days. To prolong their freshness, you can also store them in the refrigerator in the vegetable drawer, where they will last for another week.
It can be eaten plain, of course, but also in fruit salad, jam, juice, or in caramelized wedges to accompany a dessert. It's perfect for adding some pep to a yogurt or a winter salad.
📅 What is its season?
🧬 Features
The clementine is a round citrus fruit with a thin, shiny skin that is easy to peel. Its flesh is sweet, fragrant, and contains few or no seeds, depending on the variety.
It is rich in vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants. Among the famous varieties is the Corsican clementine , known for its exceptional taste and its characteristic small green leaf.
💡 Did you know?
Contrary to popular belief, the clementine is not a natural fruit, but the result of a cross between a mandarin tree and a bitter orange tree.
This cross is said to have been first made by Father Clément in an orphanage in Algeria in the early 20th century, hence its name! Today, it is grown mainly around the Mediterranean basin.
