How it differs from similar foods
Unlike freshly squeezed juice, this pasteurized version has undergone a heating process to extend its shelf life and eliminate potential bacteria. This process can slightly alter the flavor profile, often making it less tart and more consistently sweet than juice squeezed at home. The texture is also typically smooth, without any pulp.

This juice is a staple for households that enjoy a convenient and widely appealing citrus beverage.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the carton refrigerated to maintain freshness. It is best to consume the remaining juice within a week to ensure optimal taste and quality. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent oxidation and preserve its bright flavor.
