What is Orange fruit juice?
Orange fruit juice is made by squeezing oranges, and may be served smooth or with some pulp. Its bright, sweet-tart flavour and refreshing quality make it a familiar breakfast drink in many orange-growing regions, as well as a popular choice around the world. A chilled glass is often served on its own or alongside a savoury breakfast.
It provides vitamin C and natural sugars, while containing very little fibre compared with whole oranges. At 45 calories per 100 g, it can fit into a balanced meal; pairing it with eggs, yoghurt or another filling breakfast food may make the meal more sustaining.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orange fruit juice
Is freshly squeezed orange fruit juice better than store-bought juice?
Freshly squeezed orange fruit juice usually has a fresher taste, while packaged juice is more convenient and may be pasteurized for storage. Check whether a product is from concentrate if that comparison matters to you; neither option replaces whole oranges for fibre.
How long does fresh orange fruit juice last in the fridge?
Fresh orange fruit juice keeps for about 2–3 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Its flavour and vitamin C can decline as it sits, so it is best enjoyed soon after squeezing.
Why does homemade orange fruit juice taste bitter?
Orange fruit juice can taste bitter when the white pith or seeds are crushed during squeezing. Remove the seeds and avoid pressing the peel too hard; juice that has been left standing may also lose its fresh flavour.
Should you strain orange fruit juice?
No, you do not have to strain orange fruit juice. Leaving the pulp in gives it a thicker texture and a little more fibre; strain it through a clean sieve if you prefer a smooth drink.
Can you freeze orange fruit juice?
Yes, orange fruit juice freezes well. Leave room for expansion in a freezer-safe container, then stir the juice after thawing because the pulp may separate. For the best flavour, use it soon after thawing and do not refreeze it.
Does orange fruit juice lose vitamin C after squeezing?
Yes, vitamin C in orange fruit juice gradually declines with exposure to air, light, and time. Keep freshly squeezed juice covered in the refrigerator and drink it soon after making it to limit the loss.
Can you drink orange fruit juice every day?
Yes, orange fruit juice can be part of a daily diet, but it is easy to drink quickly and contains less fibre than a whole orange. Water is a better everyday thirst-quencher, and whole fruit is usually more filling.
Does orange fruit juice raise blood sugar?
Yes, orange fruit juice can raise blood sugar because it contains naturally occurring sugars and is easy to drink quickly. If you have diabetes, ask your clinician or dietitian how to fit juice into your individual meal plan.
Is orange fruit juice good for a cold?
No, orange fruit juice does not cure or prevent a cold. It provides vitamin C and fluid, but it cannot treat the infection; claims that drinking it will make a cold go away are not supported.
Can you drink orange fruit juice after brushing your teeth?
It is better to wait before brushing after drinking orange fruit juice. Its acidity can temporarily soften tooth enamel, so rinse with water and wait about 30 minutes before brushing to reduce the chance of enamel wear.
