National Orange Juice Day is on May 4th in the United States.
Orange juice is just what it sounds like, the juice of an orange. Orange juice is known to be healthy and, like the fruit from which it derives, it is high in vitamin C.
There are different ways of making orange juice. Probably the best, and healthiest, is by making it from freshly squeezed oranges. This can be purchased, or made at home, but is doesn't last as long and tends to be more expensive.
The more common commercial kinds of orange juice tend to be made from concentrated juice to which water is later added, although juice marketed as being "not from concentrate" is also available. The second is actually poorer than the first. Canned juice can also be bought. Except for the freshly squeezed orange juice, the others tend to have a variety of additives, including such as sugar and sweeteners. The additives can nullify many of the health benefits of the juice.
