What does it mean, 'made from concentrate' on an orange juice bottle?!


Question:

What does it mean, 'made from concentrate' on an orange juice bottle?


Answers:
It means it's made from powdered down orange which is of high concentration (ie very strong) then water is added. It's done for storage purposes mainly to give it a longer shelf life. Basically it's not fresh.

It means that it is made from concentrate. Amazing, isn't it?

Juice costs a lot to ship over from it country of origin (e.g. valencia), so they extract the water (dehydrate) from the juice, then ship it like that and put the water back in the U.K. (rehydrate)

Orange juice is commonly exported in dried form (concentrated) and infused in the destination country. Juice shipped in liquid form is traded as direct juice between producers. It is sold to consumers (in the U.S. and Canada), described as "not from concentrate."
When water is added to freshly-unfrozen concentrated orange juice, it is reconstituted. Most of orange juice sold today throughout the world is reconstituted juice.

Isn't it concentrate when the whole orange, peel and all is squeezed and pulped ? It's usually a lot stronger than just the juice.

Which word is throwing you here? Is it 'made', or 'concentrate'?

Someone thought really hard while filling the bottle with orange juice

It means very very strong add water or lemonade
