About Orange juice with pulp

Orange juice with pulp is a popular citrus-based fruit juice made from freshly squeezed oranges, often retaining tiny bits of orange flesh (the pulp). Originating from tropical and subtropical regions, oranges are cultivated widely in countries like Brazil, the United States, and Spain. Orange juice is commonly featured in Western breakfasts but is loved globally for its refreshing and tangy flavor. Nutritionally, it is rich in Vitamin C, potassium, and folate, and the pulp adds fiber to the drink, enhancing its nutrient profile. While lower in protein and fat, it provides a quick source of natural sugars for energy. One cup (240 mL) of orange juice with pulp typically contains around 110 calories, 2 grams of fiber, and 21 grams of sugar (mostly natural) along with antioxidants like flavonoids, making it a popular choice for hydration and micronutrient intake.
