To burn it off
The mandarin, or clementine, is the winter fruit of St Nicholas and St Martin: in the boot in Germany and Czechia, in the shoe in the Netherlands, in the toe of the Christmas stocking in the UK.
One is about 35 kcal, with 9 g of carbs and no fat. Three are 105, still less than a single chocolate letter piece.
It is easy to peel, smells like December, and stops a sweet tooth for a while. That is why it ended up in every boot.
Tips
- 1Keep a bowl on the table next to the sweets. You will reach for one more often than you think.
- 2Swap one chocolate for three mandarins. Same snacking, 105 kcal.
