Orange juice fresh

Fresh orange juice is the natural liquid extracted directly from ripe oranges. It is a fundamental ingredient in a wide variety of culinary recipes, from beverages and desserts to dressings and marinades, providing a citrusy, acidic, and slightly sweet flavor that enhances the other components of the dish.

The origin of fresh orange juice comes from the fruit of the orange tree (Citrus sinensis), a tropical and subtropical tree native to Southeast Asia, although it is currently cultivated in numerous regions of the world, especially in countries such as Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States.

Its nutritional properties are remarkable: it is an excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants, folate, and potassium, in addition to providing hydration and a touch of natural freshness to culinary preparations. Using fresh orange juice in recipes not only improves the flavor but also increases the nutritional value of the dish.

In different Hispanic American countries, fresh orange juice is also known simply as "zumo de naranja" or "jugo de naranja natural". Regardless of the name, its use is very similar and it is an indispensable staple in both popular and high-end cuisine.
