• The Natural History of Cuties

    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 and their reputation spread.

    Flash forward to the year 2000, when Sun Pacific and Paramount Citrus Association introduced the Cuties brand California Mandarin. Grown in the sunny San Joaquin Valley, Cuties undergo rigorous inspection to ensure superior quality, high sugar levels and minimal seed content. With such strict quality control, you're assured that Cuties are the best-tasting Clementines and Mandarins available.
