Mmmmm we love Clementines. I hope I win. Thanks for the chance. :-)
Clementines are my absolute favorite fruit! And the vitamin C really couldn't hurt in the winter. Thanks for doing this!
I would love to win clementines ,mainly cause I've never had them before!
We adore these wonderful little fruits. So refreshing, so portable one can easily grab 1 or 2 or...greed is the only problem. My son set out for school with 4 of them in his pockets the other day. And adding the words "prize" and "free" would be about the only way to improve them.
They're one of my favorite snacks, so I'd adore to have a box to munch on.
i bet they would be so much more flavorfull than my first batch! i'm thinking a cake, or pudding? peeling back the outer layer of flesh to reveal the sweetened innards, this is an enticing contest :)
I have never tried Clementines! Neither have my kids. I would love to win them and have a fabulous fruit fest with the kids.
Ooh....I'd like to get them to make clementine cupcakes and also my sage and clementine chicken! Yummm
I'd love to win them because they look delicious :)
Clementines are amazing. I first had them in 1994 in, of all places, Moscow. I was living there at the time and they grow in the former Soviet republics in the Cacusus region. People would truck them up and sell them on the streets. I ate them by the kilo. So yummy! Considering the dearth of fresh produce in a Moscow winter at the time, I'm sure they saved me from scurvy! I was thrilled that by the time I moved back to the US they had become popular here. kmharkness [at] gmail [dot] com
Just bought the perfect bowl to display those beauties! I'd love to have a juicy snack and something to open up possibilities for recipes. Reach me at

I love love love clementines. On one particular occasion we had movie night and while everyone was munching on popcorn, I polished off an entire bag of these sweet little cuties. Never tried the spanish ones, but I'm sure they're just as delicious!
Being a health freak, the first fruit I would reach for a munch is a Clementine. I just adore these tiniest mandarins for its sweet citrus scent.I would even use its skin in powdered form as a face pack. Since I use the entire fruit, I deserve to win the clementines from Spain :-)
Of course I'd love to have them Susan...never had clementines, & all the way from Spain. But als, no US address...*SIGH*... will my sis's address in Hou do?
Oh I love little Clemmies! These are so sweet and EaSy to peel! I'm a vegetarian and LOVE my fruits and veggies, but these cutties are one of my favorites!
Great giveaway!
What a fantastic way to start the New Year!
Thanks!

I'm from Florida, but now live in Michigan, and one of the things I miss most is great citrus. I'm curious how the Spanish clementines compare to the ones that I'm used to. I would love to try them!
There's nothing like an in season clementine! I love the flavor, and I love how easy they are to peel. Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to win these clementines. They are such a wonderful fruit - sweet, juicy, easy to peel, seedless, and delicious! Winning these clementines would help us keep our resolution to eat in a healthy fashion! Thanks!

I think the more appropriate question is who wouldn't want to win these! Clementines are a citrus all in the family will eat. So easy to peel and munch, it's often turned to as a winter snack for my youngsters before the granola bars. It's great as a dinner, breakfast or lunch add-on, also! Pick me, pick me, pick me (said with hand raised high and waving away!) ;)
There is nothing like a sweet clementine. They are the best. I would love these!
Who would say no to Clementines from Spain!
I'd like to win because I loooooove clementines!
Clementines are my favorite winter fruit. And Spanish clementines? Muy bien!
there's a recipe that I've saved for one of those 'one of these days' moments...I would LOVE to finally be able to make it:

I would love to win the Clementines. I really like them a lot, but they are my husband's absolute favorite fruit.

Only one reason why? Clementines in general, and citrus in the winter... both make me drool. We just finished off a Costco-sized flat of oranges so these Clementines would be just in time!
I would love to win the clementines from Spain because then, when someone asks me what's new I can say "Well, I just won some clementines from Spain". And they would be all like, "That's cool!" LOL :)
I would love to win some clementines. They can be expensive though at the grocery store. I don't know if the ones I bought recently were from Spain.
I enjoy your blog!
Marie
I've never had a clementine, so this would be wonderful.

Thanks

Clementines from Spain sound so intriguing and they look juicy and sweet.
because i know my mom truly enjoys then thanks for the giveaway minsthins(at)optonline(dot)net
I'd like to win the clemetines so I could peel them, put them in yogurt and top it with grape-nuts! Mmm, good :)
They are very sweet and juicy. Good food makes one become very mindful about the little slices of heaven we have on Earth!
Why I'd like to win them because they're delicious.
Because they're part of a lovely breakfast, with Italian lemon olive oil cake, roasted almonds, and honey. :-)
Clementines are soo good.... love them!
Winter is getting to me. I could use the sweetness, the vibrant color, and the Vitamin C. What a great giveaway!
I love clementnes. They are so sweet and the perfect size for a citrus fix. Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh my darlin' I would love to win some clementines from Spain, because I've never had any from Spain before!
I would love to win clementines as they're really sweet, so adorable, fresh in ur picture and I never tried before. It's very hard to get like this fruit here as they're from spain.
I've never had a clementine before but I 'd love to try them.
I'd like clementines from Spain to make an amazing orange cake I've been waiting to try
It has been snowing or icy or grey for over a month - I NEED some sunshine - clementines will do it! Thanks for the contest.
I have been eating clementines like candy lately. I think I've eaten 2 boxes practically by myself! And I just ran out!
I would love the 5 pound supply of clementines in order to create a version of the clementine cake.
Thanks, and I can be reached at maishaheatley(at)gmail(dot)com.
We are fruit lovers and my husband especially loves oranges, so this would be a great prize to win. Thanks!
Fresh fruit, added vitamin C, and having it in the middle of winter! It doesn't get much better than that! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I love clementines, and your blog!
Thanks for the opportunity!

I wish good luck to all US resident commenters, and feeling lucky living in Turkey with loads of citrus (including clementines) :)))
Because all the clementines I've purchased so far have been flavorless and shrivelly...These look DIVINE!!!
: )
clementine sticky buns and spicy chocolate and clementine biscotti. Ummmm ....
Delicious. This would be so wonderful to receive fresh instead of getting from the store where they've sat a while.
I would love to win since I can't afford to buy clementines in the store and they are so super delicious!
Thank you!
These little bits os sunshine will help fight off the scurvy!
My birthday's in a few weeks and these would make a fabulous treat to share with my coworkers. We all complain about the amount of celebratory junk food we're "required" to eat!
Would luv the clems..they would go great with Batali's orange crocs while I'm reading his new cookbook "Spain", A lCulinaruy road Trip Mario Batali with Gwyneth Paltrow." Xcuse the plug but this is the first cookbook I've "read" from cover to cover.
I would love to win a box! I've seen in the blogs, and even at Trader Joe's the other day, but have never had one. I love citrus fruits, and since they're so small the kids would love them!
Citrus captures the warmth and color of Spain so wonderfully! If we had a box of these it would be a wonderful reminder for Papa who is from Spain and a delicious way to continue to share his stories and memories with our two little boys. We try to teach them as much as we can about that sunny culture, but we live in a cold, gray northern climate now, and it seems so far away, especially in winter!
Clementines are absolutely delicious! Clementines from Spain?! I would bet anything that they are even better.

Clementines are the most perfect food. They are eco-friendly, (no plastic bag needed, deposit rinds in ground to nourish soil.) They travel well in a bag or pocket, not easily squished. They provide a sweet pick me up in the middle of the day. They are nutritiously delicious. They are so cute that just looking at them can make you happy.
i would love to win these clementines because i am obsessed with spain and all things spanish. i would be super excited to have a box of these! what a great giveaway.
These Clementines would be an awesome addition to my Wednesday night tapas. How about if I sing "My Darlin' Clementine?" Or maybe you would want to send them to me to keep me from singing!
I have never had a clementine but Looove citrus fruits. I think it's time I try them.
Clementines are delicious! And it has been ages since I have had any. I would love my daughter to be able to try them, it would be a much healthier snack than sugar laden treats. Thanks for the chance to win!

Have had a terrible time finding flavorful citrus this year. I would love to have the chance to have handful of sweet sunshine : ) Thanks
suchasullygirl_6@msn.com
Mmmm...I'd love to win because Clementines are one of my favorite fruit. They are so easy to peel and they taste so good!
Crazy timing here ... I just came back from our local Clementine Farm with a bag full of juicy delights. Please leave me out of this contest, as I'm lucky enough to have a local supply, but good luck to everyone commenting!
Clementines are a delicious and semi-sinful treat. They are good for me, taste wicked sweet and I can spit the seeds off the back porch so the blue jays can fight over them
I would so love to try these to add a little sunshine up here in Maine. We sure could use it! Thanks for the giveaway...
I'd love to win because a friend of mine and I are trying to save for a trip to Spain, and it's taking FOREVER! These would be great to share and give us a little foretaste of what's to come. :)
My email is: southerngirlbornandbred@yahoo.com
I would love to win clementines. They are my favorite fruit. Thanks
they remind me of happy times when i would sit in front of the fireplace with my family - practically going through an entire box of clementines throughout the course of the evening :)
Mmm...these are good enough to come out of the shadows of lurkage. Clementines are quite possibly my favorite winter fruit, with each section like a little flavor bursting packet. Thanks for posting this chance to win some tasty citrus! I'm crossing my fingers.
Ha! Great idea for a prize Susan. How I love anything orange. I'll resist entering simply because I may eat them all at one sitting and regret it in a severe way.
Cheers
David
mmmmm clementines when i was a kid they were cheaper than oranges so we would get them instead of an orange in our stocking I would love some

I would love to win because I don't know if I have ever had a clementine. My sous chef would love it, she's into any fruit that peels!
Great giveaway!
;) amy
Can't think of anything that would taste any better during the long Maine winter months. Somehow it warms my soul and adds to our health! Thanks for this opportunity to blog about a great product.
I would love to have these because it would keep me from eating all the cookies I still have in the house from Christmas! Plus I'd love to make Clementine Cosmos. Yum.
I love Clementines and it would feel like spring at my house if I did win!
Clementines are such a tasty fruit bursting with thoughts of sunshine and warm weather! I'd be thrilled to win a box for my house!

I love clementines! The ones sold in the stores here though are so icky...not good. I grew up with a mom that stocked the fridge full of citrus and that is what we snacked on all day. I could eat it all in one day!
thanks

To tell the truth, I've only tasted really good Clementines once in my whole life. It was an experience I've never forgotten! I'd LOVE to win this!
Heidi emailed me her entry.
Martha emailed me her entry.

Love the fact that clementines not only taste good but are healthy too.
I am born and raised in Florida, so I feel a bit like a trader, but Clemintines? It does'nt get better than that!
I'm from Canada, where no citrus grows. People need citrus to fight scurvy. Do you want to be held responsible for me getting scurvy? lol
Living in wisconsin really limits my chance to getting tasty fruit. =) I'm a vegan, I like my fruit more than most. ;)
and I'm feeling lucky.
My middle name is Clementine!
Not really, but I would love to be named after something so wonderful...small, sweet, understated, Spanish!, easily peeled...we're getting into dangerous territory. This give away is wicked awesome Food Blogga!
I'd like to win because I looooove clementines and I'm trying to be better about eating lots of fruit this year!
I would love to bring a little bit of Spain into my house. They look delicioso!
I would love to win these clementines because Ive never had one! I tried cherimoyas the other day for the first time from your advice and LOVED them! So I am going to take your word about these too!
liliana0816@yahoo.com
Because I feel a mean case of scurvy coming on! :)
I love clementines more than anything! I crave them and am SO excited when they finally end up in the store. They make the cold MN winters seem a little better:)
Because my son is studying in Spain right now and it would make me feel closer to him.
B/c I love clementines to take to work -- very portable and tasty.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I love clementines. I've never had Spanish ones, just Californian and Chinese. It would be fantastic to try them and see the difference.
Mmmm...my children (and I) love clementines. Anytime I bring some home, they're gone in no time. Thanks for the chance!

Because Vitamin C is very important :)
I would love to try some from Spain, plus Vitamin C is very important (especially during cold season)!
Never tasted clementines from spain.
Hope I win.
I love clementines. They are sweet, they are a little sour sometimes. They are like perfect little jewels.
sue22655@gmail.com

I need my vitamin C! And I just saw a recipe for clementine cake I'd love to try.
I'm in Rhode Island and we're expecting another snowstorm tomorrow - I could use a dose of lovely citrus to brighten things up!
emlawton13@yahoo.com
Because I've never had clementines from Spain...and I would share them with my daughter when she visits because we are fruitaholics!
I would love to have a box of these clementines because I haven't had them in years. I can't find them in my neck of the woods. Also, my son enjoys trying new things and would love to taste Spanish clementines!
We used to take clementines to school for lunch all the time. So much easier to peel than a navel orange! And sweeter. Now we can just think of 100 recipes that would be perfect for a clementine.
Oh I just love Clementines! So delicious, good for you and so easy to peel. bb8y29 at yahoo . com
Would love to win a big box of clementines -- my 4 yr old and 2 yr old love this perfect tiny fruit!

I love these delicious little gems! I would love to win them because I am a college student with a couple other roommates and we need more fruit in the house rather than junk food! My email is Ksoccer199@aol.com
Thanks!
better than a trip to Florida!
I would love to try these Spanish clementines and cook with them! Definitely don't have these readily available near me. Thanks for the opportunity!
Squeeze, add Vodka and you have a taste of sunshine to serve your guests at cocktail time! So much better than orange juice.
Want me some juicy sweet Clementines 'cos I got a cold in my nose -- and my chest and my eyes and all over da place. I coughfa coughfa coughfa. So tired of being sick. Clemmies lookin' soooo good.
Luscious Clementines, love 'em! I want to win them so I can eat them, of course!

I would like to win the clementines because I never win anything. Also, because I think I would really like them :)
I would love to win these...I can almost smell them and just looking at the picture I began to salivate! They are delicate and luscious!
I need to have them pass my lips!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...........
I love eating clemetines as if they were candy. :) They are always a treat.
I'm having a hard time eating healthy - I crave sweets - maybe clementines would satisfy that craving. Hope I win!
Thanks,
Kathy
I would love to win a box because this is the one fruit that my daughter and fiance will both eat non stop until the season is over. They are both picky eaters. Oh and I like them too :)
lins55@aol.com
I just love clementines...and these look awesome!
jojo17 at gmail.com
What a generous giveaway :)
And my reason: our dining hall is making cuts due to financial straits: no paper cups, no cereal at lunch or dinner and, worst of all, fruits only at breakfast and lunch!
Clementines are the perfect healthy snack! I just adore the little guys!! What a fantastic giveaway! Thank you!
Clementines would bring a bit of sunshine to this harsh Chicago winter. They would cheer me up and help provide much needed vitamins as I try to stay and get more healthy for my upcoming wedding! Thank you for offering this great contest!
These Clementines are the BEST - they're the only ones I buy. ceegeebeegee at yahoo dot com
My girls and I love to eat clementines together. They're sweet, and easy to peel. My kids feel like they can prep their own food!
Great contest, thanks!
urbanstef@gmail.com
I want to wash them down with some Marques de Caceres
The last day of this contest and I'm still hoping to win. Thanks for the opportunity. Great product.
Oh my darling, I do not want to lose this Clementine on Valentines! What a perfect giveaway!
Is there even a reason for NOT wanting clementines from Spain? I think not. They are the juicy mothers of sweet bliss.
I would love to win this because I first tasted these in Spain while driving to our casa rural, my first time in Spain, and the taste was so explosive, it was almost impossible to drive, we had to pull over, it was so intense. An experience I thought I'd never have a chance to experience again in this life.
Your picture is making me drool; I'd love some clementines.I also love your blog!
Awww, sorry I missed this (not sure they would have shipped to me in London anyway ;-))
2 weeks ago I sent my husband shopping and asked for clementines. He came back with... nectarines. I supposed I should be glad it wasn't aubergines!!
It's still *cold* here in Iowa, and I sure could use some sunshine (and vitamin c) in Clementine form. :)
