“Clementines are the tiniest of the mandarins. Imported from Spain, Morocco, and other parts of North Africa, clementines are a cross between a sweet orange and a Chinese mandarin. They are small, very sweet, and usually seedless. Most people think of clementines as small tangerines, but they’re a different variety entirely, with a distinctive taste. The Clementine is an excellent eating orange. Its small size and lack of seeds make it particularly popular with kids.”

I’ve never heard or seen of them before. Where are they from? :)
It’s a type of mandarin orange from Spain, Morocco, and Northern Africa.

I did by chance this last week found some Mandarine orange that taste just like the Clementine I enjoyed many years ago. In fact it's pretty much the same (tasty and easy to peel) and I did bought a whole load of it.
My question is what happened to the Clementine that used to be so tasty and easy to peel? Was it because the newer breed that happens to have the orange taste is more resistant to fungi?
