But the nutritional value of clementines doesn't stop there. Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen, which helps maintain everything from skin to ligaments and bones. Since humans don’t produce their own vitamin C, we need to get it from an outside source. And it packs a nutritional punch: two small clementines not only equal a full portion of fruit but they also provide you with half your daily vitamin C requirements. Packed in a deep orange exterior, with a smooth glossy skin, the clementine splits easily into separate segments that are almost always seedless.
Since then, clementines have become a more and more popular winter treat.Īvailable from mid-November to February, they can help us maintain our immune system through the long winter months. The market for California clementines shot up in 1997, when a particularly harsh winter in Florida killed off the orange production there. Today’s Clementines are grown in Spain, Morocco, South America, and in California. Others say that the Clementine was rather "invented" much earlier in China and was eventually brought to the Mediterranean. Some say that the clementine was developed in Algeria early in the 20th century by Father Clement Rodier, a French missionary. This is particularly true with vegetable-based recipes, such as salads and cold appetizers. It is also very interesting to try to incorporate clementines in differents culinary preparations because they really do add loads of personality to any dish. Contrary to oranges, which are much bigger, 2 clementines will count for one portion of fruit. And it’s funny to realize that once peeled, their zipper-style peel provides a natural container for those wonders. You can carry them along in your PFD's pocket or in your kayak day compartment. Because these cute little citrus fruits are packed with flavor and a real gift from nature.Ĭlementines are a natural treat for paddlers, because they’re small and easy to peel. I'm so fond of them that I can hardly stop peeling those marvels and eating their delicate sections one by one, very slowly, when I start… Good news is, there is no reason not to satisfy your hunger for clementines in every possible way.
It's November, and time for Clementine oranges to finally show off at our markets.
