What is the difference in orange juice - fresh & from concentrate?

I know the fresh is right out of the orange and the other is made from a concentrate - probably a frozen type. But is there a nutritional difference?

What is the difference in orange juice - fresh %26amp; from concentrate?
the cooking that is necessary to concentrate a juice destroys the natural vitamin C, but they add that back.





however...we don't know that we have identified all the nutrients there are, and as such, it's impossible to know what other nutrients may exist in fresh juice which are also destroyed in the cooking process, but not replaced.





current scientific evidence is that they are nutritionally the same...but scientists note that we can't be sure we've identified all possible vitamins and minerals that exist. no way to be sure unless you use fresh.
Reply:Juice 'from concentrate' has been concentrated (water removed), and then returned to its original state by adding water.


'From concentrate' is supposed to be equivalent to regular juice.
Reply:Concentrated juice has added water I think.
Reply:You can also buy "fresh" not from concentrate, which is best as far as "bottled" juice is concerned. But I love fresh squeezed OJ from Valencia oranges, which I make every day. Completely different flavor. Don't use Navel oranges for juice, they are better for eating.
