telcodad Somewhat-Reticent … Meanwhile expect a rush of citrus juicing? Yeah, if the fruit gets frost-damaged or frozen inside: From Google’s AI Overview: Citrus farmers often process frozen or frost-damaged oranges immediately into juice, concentrates, or byproducts like peel oil and pulp cells, as these fruits must be utilized quickly before decaying. Frozen oranges, if harvested promptly after a freeze, can still produce high-quality juice and are frequently processed into frozen concentrate. Key Uses for Frozen Oranges: Juice Processing: The most common use is extracting juice for commercial orange juice production, as freeze-damaged oranges are often still safe for consumption immediately after the event. Concentrate and Byproducts: Vita-Pakt Citrus Products and other manufacturers process damaged fruit into orange concentrate, purees, peel oil, and frozen peels. Immediate Harvest: Farmers often rush to harvest frozen fruit within a few days of a freeze before the fruit thaws, softens, and becomes unusable. Alternative Uses: If the fruit is not processed into juice, it may be used in marmalade base, for candied peel, or in specialized food products.
