clementine.

A clementine is a hesperidium, of a variety of mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata) so named in 1902.^[1] The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines separate easily into seven to fourteen moderately-juicy segments. They are very easy to peel, like a tangerine, but are almost always seedless. Clementines are, thus, also known as seedless tangerines. They are typically juicy and sweet, with less acid than oranges.

If you've never had a clementine, delay the reading of this post and go find them immediately. Then come back and read, duh. This baby takes approximately 12 seconds to peel-- and I can peel the whole thing in one long peel, which makes me feel accomplished and like Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle. It's the perfect snack, and the little gems are marketed as "Cuties." Come on, that's adorable.

Put down your Fritos and grab a clementine. And don't forget to thank me later.
