Key Points:
- Clementines, in season from October to January, are nutrient-rich, low-calorie fruits providing nearly 40% of the daily vitamin C requirement per fruit, which supports immune health and may reduce the severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms when consumed consistently.
- Vitamin C in clementines also promotes skin health by aiding collagen production, reducing fine lines, and supporting wound healing, while antioxidants like flavonoids help calm inflammation and skin conditions.
- These fruits contain B vitamins, fiber, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and hesperidin, which support brain health, improve cognitive functions, and may lower the risk of dementia and depression.
- Despite their benefits, clementines contain furanocoumar
