National Orange Juice Day

Raise your glass and say cheers! It’s National Orange Juice Day on May 4th, which means it’s time to celebrate with a tall, cool glass of fresh-squeezed OJ. But why stop at just drinking orange juice? There’s so much more you can do with this versatile beverage. Let’s take a look at some inventive ways to make the most out of National Orange Juice Day.

Orange juice is incredibly versatile when it comes to culinary uses. For instance, orange juice can be used as a marinade for chicken or pork. The natural acidity in orange juice helps break down proteins in meat, resulting in tender and juicy dishes. You can also use orange juice to make a flavorful glaze for baked goods such as cake and muffins. Just mix together equal parts orange juice concentrate and honey until it forms a thick syrup – it’s that simple!

Oranges are not only good for cooking – it can also be used around the house as an all-purpose cleaner! All you need is some vinegar, water, and orange peels (save them from your juicing session). Start by placing the peels in a jar of vinegar for a week or two. Strain the liquid into a bowl and add equal parts water. Put in a spray bottle and have more fun cleaning!

National Orange Juice day is an excellent opportunity to get creative with one of nature’s most delicious fruits! Whether you use it in cooking or around the house, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this bright citrus beverage on May 4th. So grab a glass of OJ and raise your glasses high – here’s to National Orange Juice Day! Cheers!
