I am obesessed with those packs of clementines they sell at our grocery store- they're called "cuties" they're little bitty and they're SOOOOO sweet and juicy!
In the past hour i swear i've had 3 of them (at least it's a healthy obsession
) Anyone else love them too???
They're loaded with potassium too- one "cutie" has 400mg! So that's AWESOME in my book (i have a potassium deficiency) If i keep eating them at this rate my big bag of "cuties" is gonna be gone soon

They are the best little snack - so easy to peel and so sweet.

Another fan here, and my folks love them, too. The smell of that tangy juice in the morning just wakes you right up!

If you guys click on the link i posted at the top- it has tons of info on them!!!
They're tinsy tiny- i love them!
They're soooo sweet and juicy- but still have that tangy taste to them
They're smaller than regular clementines. There are 4 growing phases for them -and each one has a little different variety from what i understand (the link explaines it better than i can!)

Colin doesn't eat them eithor- what a weirdo!
That's ok though- more for me!


I do sneak other fruits/veggies into our dinners some nights though just to get him to eat better- he's none the wiser

You could always share!


When our daughter was little, I don't know why but I always called her my little kumquat. She still laughs about it today and she's 28.

they should be in the produce section. they come in a little net bag full of them. they say "cuties" on the label!
(not yucky canned stuff
)

if you click on the link i posted and look through the site- they have a list of stores that sell them!

They are fantastic! So much easier to peel than oranges - and no seeds. Only one Weight Watchers point each!!!
