Orange juice is the liquid extracted from the pulp of oranges, a very popular citrus fruit worldwide. With a refreshing, sweet, and slightly acidic flavor, orange juice is a versatile ingredient in the kitchen, used in both sweet and savory recipes, as well as in beverages and desserts.
Its origin dates back to tropical and subtropical regions where oranges are cultivated, especially in countries like Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States (Florida and California). The orange is a fruit with a high content of vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals, making its juice a healthy option to complement the daily diet.
Among its properties, its ability to strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and provide natural energy stands out. Furthermore, orange juice is low in fat and contains natural sugars that help revitalize the body.
In different Hispanic American countries, orange juice may also be known as zumo de naranja (more common in Spain), jugo de china (Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic), or simply naranja exprimida.
