When they make orange juice from concentrate, how do they turn it into a powdery mush?!
i would hazard a guess and say they boil it, but surely it would burn before they get it to a powder!?!?
Answers: i always heard they juice it in the place where they were grown, then they extract all the natural water (along with the taste, i might add!) to leave a powdery thing and then they ship the powder to the different countries and add water to it ti turn it back into juice, but how do they turn it into powder in the first place?

Orange juice concentrate is still orange juice, but with SOME of the water extracted. It does not become powdery.
The water is extracted by eposing the orange juice to a vacuum, where the water will "boil" at low temperature.
Water at atmospheric pressure boils at 100 degC, but the boiling point is lowered as the pressure is lowered.
The orange juice concentrate is often frozen before shipping, for easier storage.
There really is not that much difference between "freshly squeezed" orange juice, and orange juice made from concentrate.
The important thing is to drink it rather than coke or other soft drinks.
It is evaporated in a vacuum until it has the consistency that you see when you open it.
