![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The scientific name for the clementine tree is Citrus Reticulata var. However, other sources indicate that the fruit was not native to the Mediterranean shores and it was actually created somewhere in Asia. According to one story, Father Cl�ment was inspecting the mandarin garden of his orphanage when he noticed a special hybrid among them. The popular name of the fruit originates from 1902 and comes from a French monk in Algeria, Father Cl�ment Rodier. While being sweeter and less acid than normal oranges, clementine oil includes complex aromatics, a lot of limonene and also myrcene, linalool and ?-pinene, like all fruits from the citrus genre. An alternative name for the fruit in stores is Moroccan clementine. Fruits found in stores are sometimes labelled as seedless tangerines because if not cross-pollinated they don't grow any seeds and are easy to eat. They are usually very easy to peel, like tangerines, and after opening the fruit can be separated into 7 to 14 parts. It is very similar in appearance to a mandarin and it probably appeared after an accidental cross between a sweet orange and a Mediterranean Citrus. The clementine is a sweet juicy fruit from the orange family. ![]()
