Foods to Ponder

Clementines


Tis the season for clementine oranges!  From November to May, the mini oranges are available in the produce section of your local store and I encourage you to take a look.  If you aren't a fan or perhaps haven't tried a clementine before--this is the perfect opportunity.  


A clementine is a hybrid fruit.  It is a cross between a Chinese mandarin and a sweet orange.  Small, seedless and juicy--it is a perfect on-the-go snack or a great addition to a salad.  At just 35 calories --you can't beat this Vitamin C packed treat.  Plus if you are really hungry--you can have two or three and not feel bad about it!


A 5 lb box of clementines retails for around $7--which sounds pricey but 5 lb is a lot of fruit.  Read here for storage recommendations.  That's all you need to know--so get out there and enjoy a clementine.
