"Clementine"
 |
| A perfect winter fruit |
I come as a whole, small, smooth shiny protective loose skin, refreshing aroma that lingers, sweet, juicy, very succulent, dynamite fighter booster, give off happy relaxing feelings, and people love to grab me. I am the Clementine.
Did you know it was me? I belong to the Rutaceae family, commonly know as the "citrus family". The clementine is very popular in the United States and widely available during the winter.
