Clementine Leafy

The clementine is a spontaneous citrus hybrid between a mandarin orange and a sweet orange. The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance; Easy to peel, juicy and sweet, with less acidity than oranges. Clementines are a great source of Vitamin B6, Calcium, Magnesium and of course vitamin c.

Clementines contain high levels of antioxidants, such as vitamin C, which play an important role in reducing inflammation while helping with several key systems in your body, including the immune system. The vitamin C in clementines also promotes healthy digestion. Too little vitamin C can lead to reduced levels of hydrochloric acid, which helps our body break down and absorb nutrients; Hydrochloric acid also fights viruses and bacteria in the stomach to reduce the risk of infection.

Clementines are also rich in flavonoids—plant compounds that can help reduce inflammation.

In season from November until February.
