About Clementine segments

Clementine segments are the small, juicy portions of the clementine, a citrus fruit known for its bright orange skin and easy-to-peel nature. Believed to have originated in North Africa, clementines belong to the mandarin orange family and are popular in Mediterranean, Asian, and Californian cuisines for their sweet, refreshing flavor. Clementines are a nutrient-dense food, rich in vitamin C, which supports immune function, and naturally low in calories, fat, and cholesterol. A typical clementine (approximately 74 grams) contains about 35 calories, 1 gram of fiber, and 60% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for vitamin C, along with smaller amounts of potassium and folate.

Health Benefits

• Boosts immune health due to high vitamin C content (60% of RDI per clementine).
• Supports heart health through potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure.
• Aids skin health and collagen production thanks to vitamin C’s role in antioxidant protection and tissue repair.
