Tangerine Juice

Post by Seth »

Once in a while, I will pick up some freshly squeezed Tangerine juice at a local store. I have come to notice that the stamped on expiration dates always appear much longer than compared to the OJ I buy from the same store. Does Tangerine juice have something in it that keeps it from going rancid as fast?

If it really is fresh squeezed, the shelf-life should be 4 days tops, if it is sealed well. I've never had tangerine or orange juice more than 3 days old, I wouldn't want to.

The OJ I buy stamps it as about 4-5 days.

Ok, sounds good then. Lucky you!

How is it packaged/bottled?

How much do you pay for 1L?

It is a half a gallon (1.9L) container and costs $4.50.

If you have a Trader Joe's out there, you can buy it from them. I have also heard Costco sells fresh squeeze OJ, but I haven't checked into that yet.

Isn't it pasturized?

No, the label says Trader Joe's Fresh Squeezed 100% Orange (or Tangerine) Juice - Unpasturized. No perservatives - perishable.

I'll keep an eye out next time I go there. That would certainly be convenient, especially on busy days.

One more question... Does it still have pulp or is it filtered?

It does have the pulp, but not too much. It has never been an issue with me at least.

I may have found an answer. I am wondering what you make of their claim in producing fresh juices that stay fresh longer through this particular process: http://www.naturalbrands.com/faq.htm

It makes sense, but even such juices that are claimed to be 100% pure and raw, clearly dont taste that way to me. But maybe this one is different. I dont know.

I'm going to see if my local health food grocery store can start carrying some of those products. They have had raw OJ and milk before, so I'll see if they will want to try these out.

Does anybody uses mandarines as their main fruit for juicing?

I like it much more than OJ; it tastes more sweet.

Does anybody has experience with ingesting big quantities of mandarine juice for long periods?

I've done mandarine juice before, maybe for 2-3 weeks straight. No negatives at all. Just gets expensive/nearly impossible once they go out of season.

The sweetness depends on the kind of orange, the ripeness, and the amount of sugar you add. ;)

I usually let my oranges ripen at least a week, preferably longer. My favorite brand is Cubanita.
