Questions about Freshly squeezed orange juice
How many oranges do you need for a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice?
Allow about two medium oranges for a small glass, around 150 ml; larger, juicier fruit may give you more. Roll each orange firmly on the worktop before cutting it to help release the juice.
How do you get the most juice from an orange?
Bring the oranges to room temperature, or warm them briefly in lukewarm water, then roll them firmly under your palm. Cut across the middle and squeeze each half, turning it as you press; strain the juice if you want it without pulp.
How long does freshly squeezed orange juice keep in the fridge?
Pour it into a clean, covered bottle and refrigerate promptly; drink it within a day for the freshest flavour. Shake it before serving, as the pulp settles.
Can you freeze freshly squeezed orange juice?
Yes. Freeze it in a sealed container, leaving a little room at the top for expansion, or use an ice-cube tray for small portions. Thaw it in the fridge and shake well before drinking.
What can you make with freshly squeezed orange juice besides a drink?
Use it in a citrus dressing with olive oil and mustard, or simmer it with a little zest to make a sauce for pancakes. It also adds brightness to marinades for chicken or to a fruit salad.
Is freshly squeezed orange juice different from ordinary orange juice?
Freshly squeezed orange juice has 33 kcal per 100 g, compared with 45 kcal in ordinary orange juice. Its vitamin C content is similar: 48 mg per 100 g versus 50 mg.
Is freshly squeezed orange juice a good source of vitamin C?
Yes. It is a source of vitamin C, with 48 mg per 100 g; squeezing does not remove the vitamin, but juice loses freshness after exposure to air, so drink it soon after making it.
Can you drink freshly squeezed orange juice with the pulp?
Yes; the pulp is edible and gives the juice a thicker texture. It adds only a little fibre, so eating a whole orange provides more fibre than drinking its juice.
