Clementines are consumed mainly as fresh fruit because it is refreshing and has diuretic properties and like all citrus fruits. It is also characterized by a high content of vitamin C and is often preferred to oranges as it is less acidic.

• The fruit looks like mandarin: the main differences are to be found in the colour of the pulp, decidedly more orange.
• Moreover, it is never flattened like mandarins, but always well rounded. Like mandarins, it peels and divides into slices with ease.
• The taste is more similar to orange, with a perfect balance between the sour and sweet.
