What is used to make orange juice?

Orange juice is made from oranges.

The process typically involves:

* Harvesting: Oranges are picked from the trees.

* Washing and Sorting: The oranges are cleaned and sorted to remove any damaged fruit.

* Juicing: The oranges are pressed to extract the juice.

* Filtering: The juice is filtered to remove pulp and seeds.

* Pasteurization: The juice is heated to kill bacteria and extend its shelf life.

* Packaging: The juice is bottled, canned, or packaged in other containers.

There are different types of orange juice, including:

* Not-from-concentrate (NFC): This type is made by simply squeezing oranges and packaging the juice.

* Concentrate: This type has most of the water removed, and is later reconstituted with water.

* Pulp-free: This type has most of the pulp removed.

* With pulp: This type retains some of the orange pulp for a thicker texture.

No matter the process or type, the main ingredient of orange juice is always oranges.
