A clementine is a variety of
mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata), so named in 1902. The exterior is a
deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines can be
separated into seven to fourteen segments. They tend to be very easy to
peel, like a tangerine, but are almost always seedless. For this reason
they are sometimes known as seedless tangerines; the clementine is also
occasionally referred to as the Algerian tangerine.
They are typically juicy and sweet, with less acid than oranges. Their
oils, like other citrus fruits, contain mostly limonene as well as
myrcene, linalool, α-pinene and many complex aromatics.
