I had clementines at breakfast this morning. As I bit into the juicy orange sweetness my taste buds celebrated. I peeled another, devoured it, then peeled a third and ate each piece slowly to savor the tangy sweetness.
Curious about the nutrition value, I googled clementines. They’re a good source of Vitamin C, potassium, choline, and folate. These nutrients bring all kinds of benefits, including reduced inflammation and better moods.
I also discovered there is a tradition of stuffing Christmas stockings with clementines that dates back hundreds of years. There are several theories behind this tradition: they symbolize sacks of gold, they were a scarce treat during the Great Depression and a huge treat, they represent the ability to share what you have with others.
