✦ Excellent vitamin C: ~45mg/100ml
✦ Folate and potassium
✦ Hesperidin flavonoid
✦ More polyphenols than filtered juice
Freshly squeezed orange juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, providing around 40-50mg per 100ml, alongside folate, potassium, and citrus flavonoids including hesperidin. Without filtration, freshly squeezed juice retains more of the natural fruit pulp and therefore more fibre and polyphenols than commercial clear juice. It counts as one of the maximum two juice portions per day.

Preparation note
A 150ml glass counts as one of your five-a-day and one of the two maximum daily juice portions. Drink with breakfast to enhance non-haem iron absorption from cereals and toast. Rinse or drink water after to protect tooth enamel.
