Then you're in for a shock because there’s complicated process to make Orange Juice all year round. Here's the funny thing Oranges are seasonal. Anthony Easton - //flic.kr/p/8xBLt

According to Citrus Australia

“Navel Oranges Navels are one of the most popular orange varieties and available during the winter from June - October. They are sweet and juicy, rich in orange colour, seedless and easy to peel. They are mainly grown in three southern growing regions - the Murray Valley, the Riverina of NSW and the Riverland of South Australia.” “Valencias Valencias are one of the most common orange varieties, and available from November to February - the summer months. They are deliciously sweet and juicy and ideal for juicing. Valencias are mainly grown in the Riverina.” //www.citrusaustralia.com.au/consumer-information/whats-in-season.htm Now you can drink orange Juice all year round. Yess I know we also import Oranges to fill in the gaps, but there never seems to be a shortage of orange drink. Have you noticed your Orange juice brands always tastes the same? This is no accident. The reason your supermarket orange juice has a consistent flavour has more to do with chemistry than nature. Oranges only grow in certain seasons. We all want to drink Orange all year round, but orange juice goes bad in a short time. So The orange juice companies needed to find a way to provide us with Orange every day of the year. Mike Mozart - //flic.kr/p/rKsS4F There's plenty of Orange Juices to Choose From The old method of freezing orange juice in concentrate was no longer popular because it didn’t taste as good. The chemist came up with is a process called "deaeration," after the oranges are picked, & squeezed, the juice is heated to eliminate bacteria. Then the juice is stored in huge tanks from which eliminates the oxygen. They can now keep their Orange juice for a year without spoiling. You could say this process had big downside the juice lost its taste. Big Problem. So when the orange juice is ready to be packaged for sale, they need to add, flavour packs to give it the consistent, “pure,” orangey taste. The Juice companies hire flavour & fragrance wizards, the same ones formulating perfumes for Dior and Givenchy, to engineer flavour packs to add back to the juice to make it taste like fresh orange juice. The Orange juice, which could have been sitting around in storage for more than a year, is then pumped with these flavour packs to restore its aroma and taste. These Flavour packs aren’t listed as an ingredient on the label because concocted oils and essences are extracted from the oranges. “Most commercial orange juice is so heavily processed that it would be undrinkable if not for the addition of something called flavor packs” Misunderstanding Orange Juice as a Health Drink So next time you're grabbing Orange Juice off the Supermarket Shelf, consider how healthy it really is.
