Questions about Freshly squeezed orange juice
How many oranges do you need for a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice?
For a small glass, start with two or three medium oranges; the amount depends on how juicy they are. Roll them firmly on the worktop before cutting to help release more juice.
How do you get more juice out of an orange?
Bring the oranges to room temperature, or warm them briefly in lukewarm water, then roll each one firmly under your palm. Cut across the middle and press while twisting on a citrus juicer.
How long does freshly squeezed orange juice keep in the fridge?
Pour it into a clean, covered container and refrigerate it straight away; use it within two to three days. Shake or stir before serving, as the pulp settles.
Can you freeze freshly squeezed orange juice?
Yes. Freeze it in a sealed container, leaving room for expansion, or pour it into ice-cube trays for smaller portions; thaw it in the fridge and stir well before drinking.
What can you use freshly squeezed orange juice for besides drinking it?
Add it to a salad dressing with olive oil and mustard, or use it in a marinade for chicken or fish. For a sauce, simmer it gently until slightly reduced, then season to balance its sweetness.
Is freshly squeezed orange juice a source of vitamin C?
Yes. A 150 g serving provides 33 mg of vitamin C, making it a source of this vitamin.
Does freshly squeezed orange juice have as much fibre as a whole orange?
No. Squeezing removes most of the flesh and its fibre; keep some pulp in the glass if you like, but eating the whole orange provides more fibre.
