Orangensaft

Orangensaft is the German word for orange juice. It is a popular beverage worldwide, consumed for its taste and perceived health benefits. Orange juice is typically made by squeezing the pulp of oranges. The process can be done manually or industrially. Industrial production often involves pasteurization to extend shelf life and may include the addition of supplements like calcium or vitamin D.

There are two main types of commercially produced orange juice: from concentrate and not from concentrate. Orange juice from concentrate is made from orange juice that has had most of its water removed. This concentrated juice is then reconstituted with water before packaging. Orange juice not from concentrate, often labeled as "fresh squeezed" or "pure," is made directly from the juice of oranges without the water removal and reconstitution process.

Orangensaft is a good source of vitamin C, an important antioxidant that supports the immune system. It also contains other vitamins and minerals. However, it is also a source of natural sugars, and excessive consumption can contribute to high sugar intake. Nutritional content can vary depending on the type of orange used and whether it is from concentrate or not. It is a common breakfast drink and is also used as an ingredient in various cocktails and culinary dishes.
