Clementines
It might be tempting to pick the larger clementines in the bunch, as these should offer more orangey goodness. Nonetheless, it might surprise you that the smaller ones with a strong fragrance, will be juicier and bursting with rich flavor.

With clementines, you can also feel free to judge them by their appearance. The ripest, ready-to-eat ones should offer a shiny, brighter orange color. You can also feel the skin as your about to peel, as the best ones will have a firm but softer skin. If the skin is too tight, then you’ll have to wait for it to ripen into a grown fruit. You should also avoid the rough, hard or squishy ones.
