May 4 - National Orange Juice Day


Happy National Orange Juice Day! On May 4, today recognizes America’s most popular breakfast drink.  

Orange juice holds a large margin over second-place apple juice, too. People have been waking up to a glass of orange juice for many years and enjoying the health benefits it gives them. 

One eight-ounce serving of orange juice has 124 mg of vitamin C and also supplies potassium, thiamine, and folate. That little bit of sunshine in the morning can add a boost to your day.  

Get your orange juice fresh squeezed, bottled or in concentrated form in the freezer section. You can also enjoy orange juice blends for delicious combinations. 

The United States is second only to Brazil in the production of orange juice, and they’re second only to Canda in consumption. 

Another excellent way to add orange juice to your diet if you are watching your sugar intake is to include it as an ingredient in a recipe. Orange juice adds great flavor to smoothies, whole-grain waffles or french toast. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Enjoy a nice cold glass of orange juice with your breakfast. Which do you prefer – extra pulp or no pulp versions?  

Orange juice producers offer both to satisfy all our needs. Share your favorite recipes using orange juice as well.
