May the 4th<\/sup> be with you on your quest to consume the most delicious and freshest of orange juices today for National Orange Juice Day. We had to get that one out of the way for the Star Wars<\/em> fans out there. Orange juice is probably the most popular breakfast drink in America. Is the orange juice you buy in the grocery store actually juice, though? How natural is that \u201cjuice\u201d that lines the grocery store shelves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, many Americans like to go for the brands that say \u201c100% juice\u201d and \u201cnot from concentrate.\u201d These terms are not really as honest as you might think. Not from concentrate juice may come from real oranges, but it is definitely not 100% juice. The only way to have 100% juice is if it is fresh pressed in front of you at a juice bar, or you juice the oranges yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s The Juice On OJ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If any of you have ever juiced oranges, you know that the juice only lasts for a couple days. Some orange juice companies will source only from American growers, while others use blends from Brazil or Mexico with American-grown oranges. Once the growers pick the oranges, they are sent to the juice facility, where they are juiced. The juice is then stored in giant tanks for about 8 months or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
