Fresh OJ! One Year Old!



I saw an article on the news about Orange Juice a few weeks ago and it made me think about consuming orange juice.

Everyone believes that OJ is fresh and we get it soon after the oranges come off the tree, this is far from the truth. Orange juice is extremely processed and far beyond what we may imagine.

Here are the steps in the making of OJ (to the best of my knowledge):
1. Oranges are picked.
2. Oranges go to the factory.
3. Orange juice is then squeezed into giant vats.
4. Oxygen is removed from these vats to keep the juice from going rancid.
5. Once oxygen is removed, the process extracts all of the natural flavors. This means it would taste like orange sugar water, nothing like orange juice.
6. Orange juice (orange sugar water) sits in vats for up to a year.
7. Orange juice producer contacts fragrance company make flavor packets to add to the orange sugar water (orange juice).
8. Those packets are made from the extracted parts of the orange during processing. So...it's natural flavoring, but not the way intended.
9. Packaged and shipped to stores. Florida's Finest, Alway's Fresh!!!

Orange juice isn't the fresh or healthy product we consider it to be. I highly advice drinking tea or water or making your own juice next time you eat breakfast.

I don't know much about this but that's the little bit I learned.
Next few posts will be arsenic in apple juice and the benefits of juicing!
