Clementine

We can now see mandarin oranges here, 'mikan 蜜柑' in Japanese.  It called Clementine which named from Father Clement Rodier who discovered and grew it, referenced by WIKIPEDIA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clementine ).  Even so, this name is too fashionable, isn't it..because in Japan, mikan is a folksy fruits.  I bought clementines which was made in South Africa.  Their peel is a little thinner than mikan, but taste is quite similar.  Every winter, we received many mandarin oranges from relations who lives in Hiroshima, I brought back memories.  The indication is written that people have aimed for at least 5 difficult portion of veg or fruit a day, including fresh, frozen, dried, canned and juice all count.  We, japanese are said to have more than 30 products including meat and fish......  I felt the differences of food cultures now.

Thank you for your reading to the end.
