Are clementines good? I've never had them. I read that they are like tangerines but sweeter and without seeds. Anyone like them? Are they the same thing as mandarins? I was planning on buying a 5 pound box to take to a Hanukkah party on Saturday so I'll have at least one healthy snack even if no one else brings anything healthy.

Hi

I like them. When I was in Italy, they grew in my back yard. They are easy to peel and the kids seem to love them also. I'm not sure if they are the same as Mandrain.

My dietician said to count them as small tangerines. They are really good for you, and only become a problem for me if I eat more than 3-4 at one sitting (2 clementines = 1 medium orange calorie wise). If I eat any more than that, I get a blood sugar spike that is hell to come down off of. Take Care.
