This love of clementines has been passed down generationally in my family. Although my grandma is too old to remember exactly when she was born, she does remember getting a pair of socks every Christmas and clementines.
Then my mom and her five sisters basqued in the joy of all things citrus every Christmas growing up too (and socks!!).
And now, I too look forward to December and the holidays, because of freaking clementines. Really, that's what I look forward to.
I even have my favorite brand of clementines: "Cuties"
Cutie's are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, they are easy to peel, sweet, and best of all they come from California. My mom always says the best fruits come from California (and yes she seriously says that all the time, like everyday at least).
In addition to the 800mg of vitamin C I take via tablets a day (not the horrible 90s singer), I eat at least 5 clementines. I sometimes feel like I could overdose on vitamin C, but it'd be worth it.
Aside from the obivious health benefit of vitamin C, I save loads of money on perfumes during the winter, because my hands and basically all my clothes end up smelling like clean citrus. Yesterday someone seriously asked me if I just got done cleaning my bathroom!
To be honest, I don't like most other citrus fruits, for example: I hate oranges. They are tough, impossible to peel, and can be pretty sour. I don't like citrus flavored candies or anything. I'm not really into tangerines either.
But gosh darn do I love my Cutie's California clementines!
