Beware orange juice drinkers

[Hey Yo]

Just saw that crops are down in Florida, one of the worst in decades. Prices are going to skyrocket. Currently the avg. cost for a gallon is $6.27

I gave up OJ about 5yrs ago. Too much sugar in it

In a couple of decades the US probably will be getting very little OJ from Florida due to the Chinese bacteria which causes Greening disease. Brazil already makes up to 10x more orange juice than Florida. Mexico is starting to crank out OJ too.

Unless a cultivar can be developed that's immune to the disease and/or repels it's carrier, Florida orange juice will be a thing of the past. Just like banana producers had to replace the Gros Michel with our current Cavendish because of disease, orange juice producers will have to replace the Valencia with something else. Difference is a banana can start to produce fruit in a year and it takes an orange tree around 6 years to start putting on enough fruit to be worth picking.

California already produces more oranges than Florida but most of them are for the table, not juice.

Basically get ready to say goodbye by to Florida orange juice soon

Most FL OJ is stored in giant vats with Nitrogen on top to keep it from spoiling. It’s kind of a shiite product.

So they need more stimulus checks to address these issues.

Anyone tried OJ in Europe?

I heard it tastes much better.

Something having to do with the oranges they use being closer to the original cultivars in descendance.

Could just be because you can get it fresh squeezed much easier.

Most of the OJ in Europe comes from Brazil and to a lesser degree the US. Spain, like California in the US, produces most of the table citrus.

Best citrus cultivars are almost all from Japan. Those boys take their citrus seriously

Many come from UC Riverside in SoCal. Riverside was the center of US production for a long time.

Orange juice aka diabetes juice is insanely overrated. Much better options out there that not only taste better but also have wayyyy less sugar

[warriorfan]

orange juice is great unless you have shitty genes and don’t work out

Almost everything tastes better in Europe. Tomatoes from a common Italian street market might as well be an entirely different fruit from the tomatoes you buy at USA supermarkets.

The only places in the USA that have produce that is even remotely comparable to high quality European produce is small farmers markets

Also high quality orange juice (cold pressed from good organic oranges) is one of the best drinks on this planet... stop drinking trash juice you plebs
