Answer 1

Answer: A Clementine is a good hybrid fruit!

Explanation:

A clementine is a citrus fruit hybrid between a willowleaf mandarin orange and a sweet orange. It was first found in Misserghin, French Algeria, in the garden of the orphanage of the French Missionary Brother, Clément Rodier, whom it was named after. They are easier to peel then tangerines and have less acids than oranges. Today, people often just buy, peel, and eat them!
