Things worth knowing

• One clementine (74 g) has about 35 kcal (146 kJ), and two have about 70 kcal (291 kJ). Each fruit holds roughly 7 g of sugars and 1.3 g of fibre.
• Compared with other mandarins and tangerines, which USDA lists at about 53 kcal per 100 g, clementines are slightly lower in energy and higher in vitamin C (49 mg versus 27 mg).
• Gram for gram, a clementine matches an orange for energy, both about 47 kcal per 100 g, with similar vitamin C, but a clementine is a much smaller portion.
• Canned mandarin segments in syrup carry added sugar, so fresh fruit or juice-packed cans stay closest to these figures.
