274893Many of us enjoy a big glass of orange juice at least a couple of times per week. Be sure that the juice you bring home is 100% Florida OJ…remember not every carton of orange juice has roots in U.S. soil.

There are several easy ways to check to see whether you’re drinking Florida OJ. One easy option is to check the label. Simply, look to see if the juice you are buying is produced with 100% Florida Oranges.

Another simple way is to check FindFloridaOJ.com. The website allows you to snap a photograph of the UPC code on any bottle of orange juice and instantly learn whether it hails from Florida. I know you guys are handy with those cell phones and the website makes finding that delicious Florida OJ super simple!


amazing-five-finalSo why choose 100% Florida Orange Juice? Every glass of 100% Florida Orange Juice has the Amazing 5:

  1. Taste
  2. Vitamin C
  3. Potassium
  4. Folate
  5. No added sugar

Besides being delicious, a single serving of 100% orange juice counts as almost one quarter of the USDA-recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake (based on a 2,000-calorie diet.)

Florida’s unique, sandy soil and subtropical climate enable growers to produce the world’s best-tasting and juiciest oranges and isn’t that what you want when you are choosing a juice for your family?

So the next time you are at Publix, check that carton for the 100% Florida OJ label or simply scan that UPC code and make sure you are bringing home 100% Florida Orange Juice.

Remember orange juice is not only a delicious beverage but it’s also wonderful in so many recipes. Be sure to try the Florida Orange Chicken And Corn Pot Pie recipe that I shared not too long ago. You can find more information on 100% Florida Orange Juice and tons of other great recipes on the FloridaJuice.com website. I think you’ll find that you enjoy cooking with OJ just as much as you like drinking it!
