Not tremendously particular about brand but prefer organic. Right now I have Whole Foods / 365 organic pulp free in the fridge.

Fresh squeezed is great if filtered but not worth the bother imho.

although the color of the fruit isn't as disturbing as the color of, say, an overripe pumpkin. Once I get past the color I like the fresh-squeezed juice if I can get it.

Around here (PA) the oranges in the store are from South America and inedibly sour. When the Florida oranges come back (around Nov.) I’ll go back to eating at least one a day. In the meantime I allow myself a small glass of Trop 50 in the morning. Half the calories, no artificial sweeteners (don’t know how they do it), tastes pretty good. And it comes in “with pulp”, my preference. That way I know DH won’t drink it as he hates pulp in OJ.

which is fine... but if orange juice for Vitamin C... there are lots of good food with as much or more vitamin C than oranges/orange juice...

((...sorry, I'm pretty obsessed when it comes to food and nutrients as I have been caregiver for a number of people with diabetes and related health issues))

marketing is pretty powerful stuff... of course type of orange, age, how processed, amount, etc. all factor in

sweet red peppers have 2x+ the C
hot peppers
kiwi
pineapple
green peppers
spinach
kale
broccoli
strawberries
vegetable juice
etc...

Even if fresh squeezed was available, if there were oranges, I'd go for the fruit instead of the juice.

Benito Juares and Minerva, kitty corner from the Plaza Benito Juarez in Casas Grandes, Chuihuahua that will squeeze and serve you a 12 ounce glass for about $2. and they will recognize you after a year or two and everybody will come over and shake your hand. that is my favorite. Constantino's. it has been almost 4 years I think.

has two grades of store brand, the cheap one is not that good, but the slightly more expensive one ($3 vs. $2) tastes a lot better, like it has Valencia oranges in it. I only have a bit a few times a week, my lady and I take a couple of weeks to go through the bottle. I'll add some of it to fresh fruit to make a smoothie for us about once a week.

I can't abide the acidity unless there's a lot of pulp.

Something about the color.

But it's still my go-to drink if eating out and others are ordering alcohol.

26. Sucked out of a fresh orange
Sun Aug 30, 2020, 01:04 AM

We'd peel the top third to get the peel and rind off, then cut a divot into the top of the orange. Squeeze and suck the juice straight out. Best if done on a warm day after the first frost of the year while picking oranges to send to out relatives in Alabama.

Actually I stopped drinking orange juice a long time ago. Last year we sold the family orange groves that were planted by my Dad and his brother when they were kids on land Granddad bought after the Florida Land Bust of 1928. After a bad post op experience, I may never drink orange juice again.

28. Fresh squeezed, half normal, half Valencianas

Valencianas (also known as "blood oranges" for their color) have a slightly more bitter taste, but blended with ripe normal oranges, I can drink two full glasses (if I have time to squeeze them, and when they are in season), and I'm good, breakfast-wise.
