Questions about Orange juice
How long does orange juice keep after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within about seven days, or follow the shorter time on the carton. Freshly squeezed juice is best within two to three days.
Can you freeze orange juice?
Yes. Freeze it in a sealed container, leaving a little room for expansion, or pour it into ice-cube trays. Thaw it in the fridge and shake or stir well, as the juice can separate.
Is freshly squeezed orange juice better than juice from concentrate?
Freshly squeezed juice has a brighter, often more fragrant flavour, but it does not keep as long. Juice from concentrate is reconstituted with water; both can be a useful choice, so compare ingredients if you want to avoid added sugar.
How can you use orange juice in cooking?
Whisk it with olive oil, mustard and a little vinegar for a salad dressing, or simmer it with soy sauce and ginger to make a glaze for salmon or chicken. Add it near the end of cooking to keep its fresh citrus flavour.
What goes well with orange juice?
Its sweetness and acidity work well with ginger, mint, carrot and spices such as cinnamon. Use it in a smoothie, a fruit salad dressing or a marinade; for a classic breakfast pairing, serve it with eggs and toast.
Can you use apple juice instead of orange juice?
Yes, especially in marinades, baking and sauces, but apple juice is less sharp and lacks orange’s citrus aroma. Add a little lemon juice if you need to replace the acidity.
Is orange juice a source of vitamin C?
Yes. A 100 g portion provides 30.1 mg of vitamin C, making orange juice a source of this vitamin.
