Orange juice is popular all over the world. In fact, surveys show it is the most popular juice in the world. Manufacturers produce approximately 1.6 billion tons of this beverage every year. In addition to buying many varieties of orange juice at the grocery store, you can juice your own oranges by hand or with an electric juicer.

A popular form of orange juice sold in stores is frozen orange juice concentrate. To drink orange juice in this form, you need to mix cold water with the concentrate. This method was widely used during World War II, when the United States Dairy Products Association (USDA) collaborated with food scientist Richard Stetson Mores to create a reliable process for freezing concentrated orange juice.

Orange juice contains many beneficial nutrients, especially vitamin C, but you should consider the amount of sugar in each serving. You may want to limit your intake or choose a 100% juice version without added sugar.
