Questions about Orange juice
How do you squeeze orange juice without making it bitter?
Roll the orange firmly on the worktop before cutting it, then squeeze without crushing the white pith or scraping the peel. Strain it if you prefer a smoother juice.
How long does opened orange juice keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered and chilled, and use it within a few days; freshly squeezed juice is best drunk the same day. If it smells fermented or looks unusually fizzy, discard it.
Can you freeze orange juice?
Yes. Freeze it in a sealed container, leaving a little room for expansion, or in ice-cube trays for small portions. Thaw it in the fridge and shake or stir well, as the juice can separate.
What can you cook with orange juice?
Use it in a glaze for carrots or duck, or simmer it with soy sauce, ginger and garlic for a sticky sauce. For baking, it adds citrus flavour to cakes and can replace some of the liquid in a recipe.
What goes well with orange juice at breakfast?
It pairs naturally with eggs, porridge and toast, and its acidity cuts through rich foods such as smoked salmon. For a savoury twist, mix it with grated ginger and a little lime.
Is fresh orange juice better than carton juice?
Freshly squeezed juice has a brighter, sometimes pulpy taste, while carton juice is more consistent and convenient. Both can be made from juice that has been pasteurised; check whether a product is juice or an orange-flavoured drink.
Can you use orange juice instead of lemon juice?
You can swap it in marinades, dressings and sauces when you want a sweeter, milder citrus flavour. It is less sharp than lemon, so reduce other sweet ingredients and add a little zest if you want more citrus punch.
Is orange juice high in vitamin C?
Yes: a 100 g portion provides 60 mg of vitamin C. The amount can differ between juices, particularly after processing and storage.
