Questions about Orange juice
How should you store orange juice once it is opened?
Keep it tightly closed in the fridge and pour it into a clean glass rather than drinking from the carton. Follow the pack’s after-opening guidance, as pasteurised and freshly squeezed juice do not keep equally well.
Can you freeze orange juice?
Yes. Freeze it in an airtight container or ice-cube tray, leaving a little room for expansion. Thaw it in the fridge and shake or stir well, as the juice may separate.
How can you use orange juice in cooking?
Add it to a pan sauce or marinade, or simmer it to make a glaze. Its sugars brown quickly, so keep the heat moderate and avoid reducing it too far or it can turn bitter.
What dishes go well with orange juice?
It works in smoothies and salad dressings, and brings citrus sweetness to marinades for poultry or pork. In duck à l’orange, orange juice contributes to the sauce alongside orange peel.
Is orange juice as filling as eating an orange?
No: the whole fruit has much more fibre, with 1.79 g per 100 g compared with 0.2 g in orange juice. Juice is easy to drink quickly, while eating an orange takes longer.
Is orange juice a good source of vitamin C?
Yes. Orange juice is a source of vitamin C, providing 50 mg per 100 g.
