Cuties: Two 5 lb. Boxes of California Clementies For 2 Winners Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 385 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the two lucky winners ~ Shel & Annemarie!


Either you've seen Cuties in your local grocery store or been lucky enough to taste them. If you've seen them and never tried them, you're seriously missing out. If you've been lucky enough to taste them, aren't they delish?!? If you've never seen them or tasted them, listen up - these babies are delicious! And you'll soon have the opportunity to get your hands on some. Just keep reading.

Cuties are a hybrid fruit that is a cross between a sweet orange and Chinese mandarin. Three things I love - they're small in size, nice and sweet and very easy to peel.

We've been snacking on these for days now and my daughter especially loves their "cute" size. They're great to grab and go. They aren't a pain to peel and forget that sour, bitter taste. They're juicy, sweet and delicious.

Nutritious, too! These pack a nice punch of nutrients - folate, fiber, potassium, calcium and of course, vitamin C. Add these to recipes or eat them on their own. You'll enjoy every last bite.

Two Cuties contain only 80 calories and 0.5 grams of fat. They get better and better every second don't they?!? Each serving provides just about 300% of the daily recommended value of vitamin C!

My husband loves them. I find him eating them constantly. I thoroughly enjoy them and my kids love them. Your family will, too. Give your kids and yourself a healthy snack alternative.


Now for the really great part - TWO lucky winners will receive TWO vouchers for a Free 5-lb box of Cuties!

When visiting the Cuties website I learned that "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." jgs0925 at gmail dot com

They have a kids only section on their website and have nearly 14% of the daily reccommended amount of fiber!

I see that they are still 87 days in season! We all (and I am talking about 2 adults and 3 kids ages 10-5 LOVE Cuties!) Hubbs who had lapband can eat these cause the skins aren't too thick, all the kids like them cause they are really sweet and I love to send them in lunchboxes since the kids can peel themselves at lunch! We all wiN!!!

Nanbon44 said...

cuties are not little oranges. they are seedless and kid sized and I might add for gastric bypass patient sized as well, for they can not eat a large fruit...

Lois S said...

"For sweetness, Cuties must contain a minimum sweetness level. Unlike some imported fruits, Cuties super sweet taste is always 100% natural."

jakiesmom said...

they are only in season for another 86 days
