A Clementine is a type of what fruit?

A Clementine is classified as a type of tangerine. Both clementines and tangerines belong to the citrus family and share similar characteristics, such as being small, easy to peel, and sweet. The clementine is specifically a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a sweet orange, resulting in its unique flavor and convenient size. Tangerines, including clementines, are often sweeter and less acidic than other types of oranges, making them a popular choice for snacking. The other options—orange, lemon, and grapefruit—are all different varieties of citrus fruits but do not share the same specific classification as clementines do within the tangerine group.
