To burn it off
Orange juice is oranges with the bits you chew taken out. What's left is the water and the sugar, which is why a glass goes down in four seconds.
A 200 ml glass is 110 kcal with 26 g of carbs. The small glass at a hotel breakfast is 70, a big tumbler from the carton is 165.
It's still fruit and it still has its vitamin C. It just counts more like a drink than like an orange.
Tips

- 2Top it up with fizzy water for a long, cold one.
- 3Eat the orange instead now and then, it takes longer and fills you up.
Where it comes from
The sweet orange comes from tropical Asia. Roman conquests and Arab trade routes carried citrus west to the Mediterranean, and by Columbus's time orange trees grew in the Canary Islands, from where they probably crossed to the Americas. Until about 1920 people mostly ate oranges whole. Then drinking the juice caught on, and today frozen concentrate is the main thing American oranges are made into.
