About Orange juice

Orange juice is a popular beverage made from the extraction or pressing of fresh oranges. Originating from citrus-growing regions, it is a staple in many cuisines worldwide, particularly in Western diets as a breakfast favorite. Packed with essential nutrients, orange juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports immune health, and contains potassium, beneficial for heart and muscle function. It also provides small amounts of folate, which is vital for cell growth and development. While its natural sugar content offers quick energy, it lacks the fiber present in whole oranges, making it less effective for blood sugar regulation. Additionally, some commercially available orange juices may contain added sugars or preservatives, reducing their nutritional value. Drinking orange juice in moderation can be a healthy part of a balanced diet, especially when choosing freshly squeezed or 100% pure options.
