MY FAVORITE FACTS ABOUT 100% ORANGE JUICE
Did you know that when it’s enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, 100% orange juice can contribute meaningfully to your daily intake of essential nutrients? It contains no added sugar (that sweet taste comes straight from the orange!) and has several vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, potassium, and folate.
It also has hesperidin, a beneficial plant compound that research suggests may help support metabolic and cardiovascular health. Notably, hesperidin may also help delay the absorption of natural sugars, contributing to a more gradual blood sugar response.
100% orange juice delivers essential nutrients including vitamin C (important for immune function), potassium (which supports heart health and helps with rehydration), along with other essential nutrients.
When enjoyed in recommended portions (8 ounce serving size for adults and 4 to 6 ounces for kids), 100% orange juice can absolutely fit within a balanced diet. The key is portion control and incorporating it in ways that promote satiety and stable blood sugar (more on some great power pairings below!).
