Tropicana 100% Juice, Orange, Original 89 fl oz
Tropicana 100% Orange Juice (Original, No Pulp) in the 89 fl oz (2.63L) jug is a premium, "Not From Concentrate" (NFC) staple. As one of the most recognizable orange juices globally, the "Original" designation indicates a classic balance of sweetness and acidity with a completely smooth, pulp-free texture.

-
100% Orange Juice: Squeezed from fresh oranges, pasteurized, and never over-processed or dehydrated into a concentrate.
-
No Added Sugar: The sweetness is entirely natural, derived from the oranges harvested primarily in Florida and Brazil.
-
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Naturally occurring in high concentrations, though levels are standardized to ensure each glass provides a consistent nutritional boost.
-
Potassium: An essential electrolyte naturally present in oranges that supports heart health and fluid balance.

Usage Tip: This juice is an excellent natural tenderizer for Pollo a la Brasa (Rotisserie Chicken). Use a cup of Tropicana Orange Juice as the base for a marinade with garlic, cumin, and oregano. The natural acidity and sugars help break down the proteins while creating a beautifully caramelized skin when roasted.
