Homestyle Orange Juice with Pulp
What it is
This is a carton of orange juice made from oranges. It is described as homestyle, which often suggests a more natural or less processed approach to juice making. The presence of pulp means small pieces of the orange fruit are included in the juice, giving it a different texture and a more robust flavor profile than juice without pulp. It is a beverage made from plants.
