There was nothing unpleasant about Morrison’s juice, but it was lighter in colour compared to the rest, but still didn’t quite match up to Tropicana in terms of flavour. Of the three main kinds of orange juice available, the cheapest is “from concentrate” – juice that has been concentrated by evaporating out the water with a combination of heat and low pressure. Tropicana was the baseline for this test - sweet, sugary and pretty delicious, though the taste is somewhat tainted when you double check the receipt.

If it’s sour or fizzy, or has a strange texture, that also means it’s fermented, and is no longer safe to drink. According to an industry expert, “freshly squeezed refers to the proximity of the squeezing operation to bottling and the total shelf life of the product”. Upon drinking seven glasses of orange juice, there were just two we found delicious enough to ditch Tropicana for.

But sometimes I forget about it only to realize it’s been sitting in the back of the fridge for who knows how long. This is because orange juice oxidizes over time, which will cause microorganisms to infiltrate the juice. Not from concentrate means the juice has been created by juicing the fruit and then processing it without any water removal or reconstitution, whereas 'from concentrate' is slightly different - though nutritionally, there’s nothing much in it, they’re as healthy as each other.

While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it to be accurate, it is not a substitute for reading the product packaging and label prior to use.It’s not the same as juice you’ve squeezed for yourself, though, as it will generally have been pasteurised, too. Based on my own (not scientific) experiment, a medium (200g) orange yields about 95ml of juice – plus the peels, which can be dried out on the radiator making the house smell gorgeous.

It’s not unpleasant, but it’s a long way from the gentle, sweet fruitiness of the juice I made at home.

The flavour is nice and gentle, mild and pleasant in a way that is reminiscent of actual fresh orange juice. This might include changes to allergy advice, ingredient lists, nutritional guides or dietary advice. Freshly squeezed orange juice is best consumed the same day it was prepared but is safe to drink within 2-3 days.
