Weis Markets No Pulp Orange Juice From Concentrate
What it is
This is a beverage made from oranges that have been processed and then reconstituted with water. The pulp, which is the fibrous material found in fresh oranges, has been removed. This results in a smoother liquid. It is packaged in a carton for easy storage and serving. The concentrate process allows for efficient transportation and storage before it is prepared for sale.

To prepare this orange juice, you will need to add water. The carton will typically indicate the recommended ratio of concentrate to water for optimal flavor. Stir or shake well to ensure the concentrate is fully integrated with the water. Serve chilled over ice for a refreshing drink. It can also be used as a base for smoothies, mixed with other fruits and liquids, or incorporated into marinades for meats and poultry. Its bright citrus flavor can add a zesty note to baked goods as well.
How it differs from similar foods
Orange juice from concentrate differs from not-from-concentrate juice primarily in its processing. The 'from concentrate' version has had water removed and then reintroduced, which can sometimes affect the texture and intensity of the orange flavor compared to juice that is simply squeezed and bottled.
