Orange juice

Orange juice is a popular drink made from the liquid extracted from oranges, which are citrus fruits. Oranges grow on trees in warm climates and are known for their juicy and tangy flavour.

To make orange juice, ripe oranges are picked from the trees and their juice is extracted by squeezing or pressing the fruit. The juice is then pasteurised to kill any harmful bacteria, packaged in bottles or cartons, and sometimes fortified with added vitamins and minerals before being sold in stores.

Orange juice often appears on food labels as a natural flavouring and source of Vitamin C. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, smoothies, marinades, salad dressings, and desserts like cakes and ice creams. Its sweet and tangy taste adds a refreshing zing to many dishes and beverages.
