  • Question What are the ingredients for orange juice? wikiHow Staff Editor wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness. wikiHow Staff Editor wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer The basic ingredient for making orange juice is fresh oranges. You only need other ingredients if you wish to change the flavor or consistency of the orange juice, such as adding water to dilute a pulpy orange juice, milk for a creamy orange juice, other fruit juices for a fruit salad flavor, sugar for sweetening, or mint for a fresh, zesty taste.

  • Question How do you make pulp from orange juice? wikiHow Staff Editor wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness. wikiHow Staff Editor wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer Although a fine distinction, this is about separating rather than making pulp, from the orange juice. To do so, place a strainer over the top of a pitcher or bowl. Pour the orange juice into the strainer, and the liquid will run into the pitcher or bowl, while the strainer will catch the pulp. You could also use a colander lined with cheesecloth first, pour the juice in and capture the pulp, then squeeze out any remaining liquid into the pitcher or bowl. Thanks!

  • Question Are oranges good for you? wikiHow Staff Editor wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness. wikiHow Staff Editor wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer Yes, oranges are certainly good for you. They contain a high amount of vitamin C, with just one orange providing you with your daily vitamin C requirements. They also contain good dietary fiber when eaten whole. Other nutrients include folate and antioxidants, which contribute to reducing the risk of cancer and stroke as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Apart from the fiber, a half cup of orange juice will deliver the same nutrients as an orange, provided it’s freshly squeezed. As with any food, enjoy orange juice in moderation, as juice is high in calories. Just be aware that some people are allergic to oranges; if you get skin rashes around the mouth or feel unwell (headaches, nausea, etc.) after eating oranges, speak to your doctor. Thanks!

  • Try different varieties of oranges, to see which you like best for juices. Valencia oranges have seeds, but are juicy; navels are easy to get at, are large, and have no seeds; Cara Cara's are sweet, and have a "tangy cranberry-like zing," according to Sunkist.[5] Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0
