Clementines
Clementine is a hybrid of a tangerine and a king orange. In appearance and size of the fruit, it resembles a tangerine. A paradoxical fact is connected with this feature: about 70% of the "tangerines" imported to Russia from Morocco are clementines, although this name is quite rare on store shelves.
However, there are enough differences in clementines: they are much sweeter, their peel is bright orange, shiny, harder, fits more tightly to the pulp, but is easily removed from the ripe fruit. The shape is flattened, the aroma is bright citrus.
Clementine got its name after the French priest Clement (Clement) Rodier, who selected a new kind of citrus in 1902 in Algeria. Today, the Mediterranean countries are engaged in the cultivation of clementines: Italy, Algeria, Morocco, France and Spain.
Clementines contain a large amount of vitamin C. The fruits are called a natural antidepressant, used for making desserts and drinks.
The range of the Royal Fresh company includes selected clementines from Morocco.

There are two main types of clementines.
- Seedless – also known as ordinary. Such a clementine tree is incompatible with itself, so its fruits have practically no seeds.
- Montreal – these clementines can self-pollinate and have seeds. They are usually larger than seedless varieties, bloom more abundantly and taste sweeter.
