What it is
This is a refreshing beverage made from the juice of oranges. It contains small pieces of the fruit's pulp, which gives it a slightly thicker texture and a more natural mouthfeel compared to juice without pulp. It is typically pasteurized to ensure safety and extend shelf life.

This orange juice is ready to drink straight from the container. For the best flavor, it is recommended to serve it chilled. You can pour it into a glass for a quick and easy beverage. It can also be blended into smoothies with fruits and yogurt, or used as a base for cocktails and mocktails. Some cooks like to add it to marinades for chicken or pork, where its acidity can help tenderize the meat and its flavor adds a bright note.
How it differs from similar foods
Orange juice with pulp differs from juice without pulp by retaining small suspended particles of the orange fruit. This gives it a more robust texture and a flavor profile that some find closer to freshly squeezed juice. The presence of pulp can also affect how the juice is perceived in terms of sweetness and acidity.
