 If your kids are anything like mine, they LOVE fruit. Okay...I lied. My 2 year old actually hates fruit for some odd reason and only eats it if it's mixed into other foods...But my 1 year old and my 11 year old are die-hard fruit fans! One of their favorites? Clementines! Contrary to popular belief, Clementines are not simply miniature oranges. No, siree! The origins of Clementine Mandarins are shrouded in mystery. Some fruit historians – yes, there are such people – say it was Father Clement, an Algerian monk, who first discovered this unique hybrid and named it Clementino. Others claim the Clementine Mandarin originated in China. Whatever its origins, we know this: The Clementine Mandarin first came to the United States in 1909, to Florida. Five years later, the first saplings arrived at the Citrus Research Center in Riverside, California, where their production flourished. Their reputation soon spread. Fast-forward to the year 2000, when Sun Pacific and Paramount Citrus Association introduced the Cuties-brand California Mandrian. Grown in the sunny San Joaquin Valley, Cuties undergo extensive quality control inspections, guaranteeing the freshest, tastiest Clementines around! California Cuties are two varieties of mandarins: Clementine Mandarins and Murcott Mandarins. Cuties have several distinct characteristics that make them the perfect anytime, anywhere snack. Unlike other Mandarins or oranges, they are small enough for the littlest of hands to hold, completely free of seeds or any other "gunk" that will have to be spit-out creating a yucky, sticky mess to clean up, and they are also easy to peel. That's right! Kids can peel these babies all on their own, helping to foster a sense of pride and independence. On top of that, they're super sweet! No more tart, sour oranges. Cuties give kids the sweet taste they want in fruit. Heck, they may not even realize that Cuties are nutritious! (That's always a plus in my home. As soon as I say something is nutritious, my oldest son goes running!) While Cuties were only available on the West Coast, they are now being offered to families across the country! To help celebrate their nationwide launch, Cuties has teamed up with Donors Choose, a non-profit organization that funds classroom projects across the country, to bring a FANTASTIC sweepstakes opportunity with the chance to win many great prizes including a $150,000.00 Scholarship!
