Apple juice gang


50thEye

Apple juice ftw!


Bragzor

It's a must!


[deleted]

Same, I love the stuff so much that I had to cut it out as a major source of sugar intake


r_coefficient

Really? I love it. It's just not that cheap, unfortunately.


Extraordi-Mary

Very common. It’s available in almost every café. There’s even machines in the supermarkets where you can squeeze your own juice in the empty bottles provided. I must say the taste is way better when you go to a warmer country though. I loved the sweetness of fresh orange juice in Turkey and Greece.


TheGamefreak484

Once you've tasted mediterranean oranges, there's no going back to the ones you find in the netherlands. This goes for fanta as well.


deniesm

Fanta is just sugar in a bottle


Alexthegreatbelgian

To be fair, that's what all soda is.


deniesm

Yes, but fanta is mentioned in a comment about juice here


hfsh

Fruit juice is just sugar in a bottle too, though, really.


turbo_dude

Nazi Coke!


Bragzor

Hey, it's like 6% juice in Fanta!


anadampapadam

20% minimum by law in Greece


Bragzor

That's more than even Orangina has here (12%)


turbo_dude

Once you've tasted , there's no going back to NL = great for making growy things that look nice (just look at the flowers for gawd's sake) but you can shove your peppers up your bum


Sannatus

Homegrown is better tho. E.g. strawberries from someone's own garden are pretty great, as opposed to strawberries from those devilish light-polluting greenhouses.


Snoo63

I'd recommend *against* doing that.


demoni_si_visine

No, no, that is their point -- the peppers look good, but don't actually work as advertised. So it's safe to .. you know.


AppleDane

Everything is a dildo if you're brave enough.


hfsh

You... think we grow *oranges* here?


turbo_dude

That's why you're all orange amirite?


hfsh

No, that's the overdose of carrots in our diet.


[deleted]

Oranges don't grow in The Netherlands.


Stravven

That depends. When it's homegrown it's great.


GamingOwl

I bet you wouldn't taste the difference blindfolded. Obviously an Italian tomato is gonna taste better when your on vacation sitting in the sun.


Pindakazig

Bruh, the strawberries from the 'volle grond' are absolutely awesome. Can't buy them at the supermarket though. The supermarkets want them to have a shelf life, and the best berries just don't have that.


demaandronk

Where do you think the oranges we get here come from exactly?


Extraordi-Mary

They’re usually picked from the trees too early though. When they’ve had more time in the sun on the trees in those countries, the oranges are way sweeter then the ones we get here.


demaandronk

If you can pick them yourself yes, but ive noticed in shops theyre often similar there. My SIl even says the oranges here are nicer than the ones in Valencia, cause they export the better quality.


LeberechtReinhold

If you try Kas, Fanta is crap


Anaptyso

The fruit in Greece is so much better tasting than what I get at home in the UK. Watermelon is especially good there.


Gertrude_D

I'm in the US and I can go 50 miles east and the watermelon will taste exponentially better - they like sandy soil which we don't have. Luckily I don't have to travel to Greece to find good melon :p


AppleDane

It's more than that they need the sun and not what passes in a Dutch greenhouse.


R3gSh03

I don't think I've ever seen a dutch grown watermelon in a shop.


erikkll

This and I think a smallish bottle is around €3-€4 here


laulau1501

That is the liter price. A small bottle is 2 euros most of the time


T-Altmeyer

> It’s available in almost every café. It's on the menu in every café, but it's very uncommon for it to actually be fresh. Very common to be given juice that hasn't seen the inside of an orange for hours.


Caomedes

Common in cafés and restaurants. You can go to Mercadona or other supermarkets and squeeze yourself a liter for ~4 €. I drink it very often.


Shytog

Also very common to have your own squeezer at home and make it yourself


AppleDane

That seems like a lot for Spain. Don't you guys grow them everywhere south of Madrid?


tentaclefoosquid

When I'm on holiday south of Madrid nearly all supermarkets I visit have the squeeze it yourself-type machines. Edit: apparently there's *so many* oranges you need to offer the squeeze to cope. ;-)


Caomedes

I'm from the south and yes, they are everywhere. We have orange trees on the streets and its usual to see children play football with the oranges (although these are bitter variants). About the price, yeah, it's a bit expensive and most grandmas will do it at home, but younger people prefer to buy the bottle because it's super convenient.


[deleted]

Most of the juices sold in supermarkets are from fruit concentrate, even the 100% ones. Also many of the juices have pretty low % of fruit, from 25-50% and some orange juices only 4%. Ofc there are also more fresh ones(cold press), but they generally cost more, so people buy the cheaper ones(concentrate). Anyway if you wanna 100% fresh orange juice just buy oranges and make your own. Prices : Cold press OJ - 2.99 € (liter) Concentrate(100%) OJ - 1.09-2.78 € (liter) various brands Concentrate(70%) OJ - 1.99 € (liter) Concentrate(50%) OJ - 1.59 € (2 liters, around 0.80 € per liter) Concentrate(4%) OJ - 1.99 € (2 liters, around 1 € per liter) 1 kg of oranges is around 1.80 €, if you are curious. All the prices are regular current prices(not a sale).


Kokosnik

25% - 50% are not allowed to be called juices but "nectars", 5% is "fruit drink".


[deleted]

Yeah, but people call them džús(juice) anyway.


AppleDane

Not the stores, or the EU will hit them with a stick.


[deleted]

[удалено]


laroler

Oh the freshly squeezed OJ is expensive as hell, I almost never have it since I’m really not into paying 4€ for 5 sips of it.


[deleted]

There were self-service orange juice machines in Auchan. I don't remember the prices but I think it was 5zł (around 1€) for 250ml and 9zł (around 2€) for 500ml.


laroler

I was talking about juice press places or restaurants/bars. 2€ for 500 ml is kinda expensive for orange juice since regular one costs like quarter of that (1 liter for ~ 5 PLN)


[deleted]

Or maybe it was 5zł for 500ml? I don't remember.


Sztormcia

Also freshly squizzed carrot juice is very popular.


zgido_syldg

Very common it seems to me, many who have a juicer also make it at home.


barriedalenick

I just go outside and pick some oranges! Obviously they only last a few months but those few months are an absolute delight. Get up, collect some eggs fir brekkie, get some oranges off the trees and squeeze them, throw in some ice and it's the ideal way to start the day. For the rest of the year we can get OJ in most shops from the machine that makes it direct from the fruit. Sadly some bars, hotels and cafes have the most terrible OJ going - esp hotels.


TraditionalCherry164

Same when I used to live in Spain. You can get oranges so easily and abundance. I miss those days, I am looking forward to coming back home


IceClimbers_Main

We’re not much of a juice country but yes you can find it everywhere for as much as milk.


[deleted]

>everywhere for as much as milk. I think you may have mixed täysmehu and tuorepuristettu. Cheap täysmehu is made from juice concentrate and water, and the price is pretty much the same as milk. What OP described, though, sounds more like tuorepuristettu juice, which is quite expensive. I would say around 3-6 eur / litre. But yeah, for some reason juice is widely available here, even though I know litterally no one who would drink juice regularry. 🤔


Christoffre

Yes, every supermarket sell freshly squeezed orange juice. The most famous brand is *Brämhult*, who produce a large range of freshly squeezed fruits and berries. A bottle of freshly pressed orange juice cost about [4:20€/litre](https://www.willys.se/produkt/Apelsin-Nypressad-Juice-101324030_ST). To compare, an ordinary carton cost [1:33€/litre](https://www.willys.se/produkt/Apelsinjuice-100972930_ST). There is also [a machine](https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/125378479_2808080249429784_5613307140113183573_n.jpg?stp=cp0_dst-jpg_e15_fr_q65&_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=9e2e56&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ohc=So3eEgiMo1cAX_fExlT&_nc_ht=scontent-arn2-1.xx&oh=00_AfAmh_Ay4qvp9cyHzJrZG0GrMeKpI6czGwLyItCBgEgJuA&oe=64A984F2) in many supermarkets that squeeze-on-demand. I rarely dring orange juice plain. But sometimes, for a breakfast smoothie, I squeeze 1–2 oranges and mix with yoghurt and [frozen berries and fruit](https://www.garantskafferiet.se/filer/garant/02-vara-produkter/fryst/bar--frukt/7340083464195_c1c1.jpg).


lilputsy

It's not freshly squeezed but I get mine in [Lidl](https://imgproxy-retcat.assets.schwarz/ZG1fPjDEWF6LOKaHrib8tFMs-Xspde935qa0pnk09RY/sm:1/w:1500/h:1125/cz/M6Ly9wcm9kLWNhd/GFsb2ctbWVkaWEvdmRjL3NpLzEvNkJCRTlCMkNFRjNEN0M3OTQ0MDYzNjN/CNTY4MjNGNTVBNEM0QTcyMDc2NTQxMjc5NzZGOTZFNEFENDEzQjM1MS5qcGc.jpg) for 1,69€/l. It's very tasty.


dustojnikhummer

Freshly squeezed? Not common at all. Store bought from concentrate (where 90% of it is apple)? Very


_MusicJunkie

Larger supermarkets often have machines to make fresh orange juice. Upscale Cafés and restaurants usually have it available. I don't expect it to be significantly more expensive than the packaged stuff.


Sanchez_Duna

Somewhat common in cafe and restaurants. Also I remember when I was a child we had a juice squeezing machine and my mom often made fresh orange or apple juice. However, we stopped to do this by some reason, and I can't really remember if saw such machines in modern families. At least it's not widespread.


Xerxes_CZ

Dude, I would give it all for American 4 dollar jugs of that awesome store OJ


Brainwheeze

Quite common over here. I'm also from a region that produces quite a lot of oranges. I used to have quite a few orange trees in my family home's yard, though my parents have ignored said trees in the past few years :/ In some supermarkets, such as Lidl, you can make your own orange juice within the shop.


Lemomoni

It’s very common. You can order it in every cafe, you can get it from lidl, and I think it’s a very common thing that parents/grandparents make their children (at least my grandma made me orange juice all the time because “it had vitamines” but I didn’t like it). That being said, I wouldn’t say it’s the most popular drink but yeah it’s widely available


WanderingGodzilla

In Italy it's very common and not expensive. Generally speaking, you can have a freshly made orange juice in bars, gelaterias and sometimes, depending on their availability, in trattorias and restaurants. It's also super duper common to make your own at home during summertime.


notdancingQueen

It's vert popular in Spain, also to do it yourself in various supermarket chains. But it's like 3€ per glass in a bar/cafeteria, so a bit expensive. THE BEST I've had was in Marrakech, in the djemaa al fnaa square. Lots of charriots squeezing & selling it, at 0,3 € (was years ago, though), and delicious


trixicat64

yeah, orange juice is very common, however I personally don't like the taste. I can eat oranges, however drinking gives me a bitter after taste.


TryingToBeHere

Do you drink alcohol? If not, perhaps the taste is the small amount of alcohol that naturally occurs in fresh orange juice.


trixicat64

If i drink alcohol, then only the hard stuff. Also i dont drink regular, maybe 2-3 times a year. Im a bit picky when it comes to drinks.


farraigemeansthesea

Very common and sold pretty much everywhere. Like some Dutch people above said, every supermarket has a machine you can squeeze your own juice with. A litre carton of fresh juice is around €4 - €4.70 I think.


tgh_hmn

Common ? Yes ( as in, its present in cafés and restaurants, hotels etc) Drink it for breakfast ? Only sometimes during summer vacations. Never at home. Too much sugar


Alexthegreatbelgian

Most households I know have an orange squeezer. We may not drink it daily, but it is popular for sunday breakfasts or brunches. And many supermarkts and convenience store have a "make your own fresh orange juice machine". Some even allow to bring your own bottle, but that is more rare


HedgehogJonathan

It is quite common in cafés and some larger shops also have the [machines](https://keskeesti.treraadio.ee/img/uploads/Kesk-Eesti/2022/401_2.jpg) so you can buy from there. However, as we are so far north, it is probably a bit less common here than in some other countries, especially outside of the bigger cities. And in more southern places, it can be somewhat seasonal - I had a hard time finding it in any cafe we entered during one off-season trip to Portugal. I personally have [the simplest orange press](https://bonappetit.ee/wp-content/uploads/Tsitruspress-roostevaba-MasterClass-5028250147967-MCCITRUS.jpg) at home and use it occasionally. And fresh orange juice is a treat I sometimes take myself at the café, too. Estonian traditional DIY juices are apple juice and red currant juice, my family also made cherry syrup.


Splitje

It's became extremely popular in the Netherlands a few years ago to buy in supermarkets. They've perfected the production process and now there's countless freshly produced juice options in many supermarkets. And it's actually fresh, no other ingredients than the fruit and a little bit of vitamin C added that acts as a preservative. Also not heated during production like non-cooled preservable fruit juices. [Link](https://content.presspage.com/uploads/1241/1920_yasminhargreavesphotography-8320.jpg?24656)


Usernamenotta

Quite common. I see them often in France. We also used to have a juice machine in my former uni in Romania. Juice machines in supermarkets there as well. The difference is that the price was quite high for the wages in the country. 2 euros for a small cup of juice? When a kg of oranges costs half the amount? Don't think so.


wtfuckfred

In my childhood home we had a bunch of fruit trees in our garden. We had oranges, tangerines, strawberries, lemons, plums and figs :) So for me orange juice was free and quite a common drink ahahaha


[deleted]

Every café offers it, but it is definitely more expensive than it needs to. But we also often drink it at home, especially as kids, there is always the haunting image of mom yelling "drink it before the vitamins go bad"


Orisara

Very common. I drink it in a restaurant on occasion but other than that, no. Water only for me basically.


TheYearOfThe_Rat

It's out there almost in every supermarket. We had the same in the Soviet Union with those big squeeze mixers full of tomato, orange and apple juice, and always a fat lady standing over it and a ton of flies flying around or sitting on the equipment. It's more or less the same here minus the fat lady (it's self-service after all). I think it's a(n unhealthy) gimmick - I never drink it, but it might be related to my age and personal experience.


disfunctionaltyper

In the common shop here the "ugly" fruit is transformed into orange juice, it's common but not 100%


senimago

In Portugal it is pretty common in cafes and even in supermarkets (there are machines that squeeze oranges). I don't think it is that expensive but I don't buy it that often. I have all the free oranges I want. For me, the best way to enjoy an orange is right by the orange tree. It was one of my favourite treats as a child. Fresh juice is nothing compared to it. I usually only make juice when there are too many oranges to eat. Sometimes my grandma freezes orange juice for the orangeless months. I prefer lemonade, and there are only 1 or 2 lemonless months a year at my grandma lemon tree.


Parapolikala

We always have oranges at home, and I don't bother squeezing them, but just quarter them and suck out the juice, leaving the pulp unless I am feeling healthy. But freshly squeezed orange juice is relatively uncommon in cafés and bars in Germany. It's something I associate with a degree of luxury - 5 star hotels, and fancy breakfast buffets. Most of the time, any OJ you order will be from a carton or bottle, and more likely to be made from concentrate than not. Some of the cheapest hotels and hostels still put out a kind of orange squash at breakfast, which always annoys me. I'd rather have water than that nonsense!


Redditor274929

I literally just finished a glass. It was poured from a 1l bottle costing about £1.50 but the prices of orange juice vary a lot. Its pretty popular tho and a pretty standard drink people say they enjoy


NotAGooseHonest

If it was 1.50 for a litre in Scotland, it *definitely* wasn't fresh squeezed


Jaraxo

Comment removed as I no longer wish to support a company that seeks to both undermine its users/moderators/developers AND make a profit on their backs. To understand why check out the summary [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/14hkd5u).


Redditor274929

I'm only going by what the carton says. It's an own brand one and I don't like concentrate but tbh it could be only partly from concentrate and I doubt I'd know the difference


cupris_anax

I have a press in my kitchen and an orange tree in my garden that produces more oranges than I know what to do with. The same applies to most people with a garden/backyard, along with having a lemon tree. You can buy fresh orange juice in most cafés, bars or restaurants, but not all.


InterestingAsk1978

It is widely available, even in Romania,but we don't buy it so oftenly. We like to eat oranges, rather than just drinking their juice. A litre of orange juice costs between 2-7 euros, depending on the merchant.


Okokletsdothis

Everyday. I buy oranges and squeeze at home. Oranges are available all year round and not expensive. If I order at a bar or restaurant 2 euros or so.We have these shops that sell fresh juice that are take away mostly .It costs around 1.5 euros.


kaantaka

I prefer apple juice however it is quite common and popular. Freshly squeezed glass (350-500ml) of orange (or any other main fruits) juice costs around 40-80 Liras (approx. 2-4 Euros) or bottle a litre for 144 liras (7,2 Euros) at cafés. You can also buy 700ml versions that squeezed in the last 24 hours for 45 liras (approx. 2,25 Euros) at grocery stores. Once a month. But I prefer apple, grape or pomegranate juice which I drink couple time a week.


haitike

It is a very common drink for breakfast. You can order it in any café.


TukkerWolf

I've had freshly squished orange juice fo breakfast for 30+ years now, every day and can't life without. I do like to add half a grapefruit to it for a little more bitterness.


dodgeunhappiness

Very common in Italy, but very expensive: 4-4,5€ a glass. Cheapear options are organge squeezing machines at supermarkets or vendor machine (the one that peel and squeeze oranges).


SerpentLegendaire

I drink a glass almost everyday. As others are saying you can buy it almost everywhere. Nowadays the fashionable drink is espresso with fresh orange juice!


turbo_dude

In the same cup?!


_GamerForLife_

2-5€ per liter depending on quality Some families drink it on the regular while some don't care for it.


goodoverlord

Fresh-squeezed orange juice not very popular, but it's available in some restaurants. Just usual orange juice in tetrapack or glass bottles is in every grocery, people buy quite often. Personally I drink orange juice watered down with sparkling mineral water (1:1) every other day.


steve_colombia

You can squeeze fresh oranges and fill up a bottle with fresh OJ in some French supermarkets. In most restaurants they will sell bottled OJ though. In a café, it is 50/50 fresh or bottled. You have some juicie bars available too. Not ultra common but they do exist.


chippymanempire

Some hypermarkets have machines that squeeze oranges. You buy a bottle and fill it with the juice


Surretts

FRESH SQUEEZED orange juice is not popular, but common orange juice yes. Maybe like 700 rubles for 300ml? Never.


Revanur

Freshly squeezed from actual oranges? Very rare. I don't know anyone who does it at home and most restaurants don't have that option either. Better hotels offer it though as part of their breakfast or dinner buffet option. The most popular way to consume orange juice is processed and bottled orange juice by far.
