Simple, but effective. Truley she's a sorceress to be reconned with.

Nice to see Tinkya again!

The art of pulpmancy is not for the faint of heart, especially with such powerful squeezing o_O

Until today, this was the only way to get juice from an orange.

I’ll admit, once I realized shotgunning a glass was akin to rawdogging 4 or 5 whole oranges….I started to drink juice more sparingly. Though it still is a good way to get a nice shot of nutrients, just dilute it with some fizzy water if you want a healthier treat.

ROTFL!!!

Mechanical Juicer comes to mind.. but that would not be Unhealthy sugar Water It would have ascorbic Acid and Potassium.. ETC and yep iTs MAGIC!!
but you Really don't get that much Juice out of One Orange..

Don't forget eye protection If you do It at home kids, It's like acid.

TBF unless you drink it with the pulp (and all the pulp) it IS less healthy as a significant amount of the nutrients are in the 'skin' of the orange (not the peel, to be clear. I just dunno what the insides are called. Flesh?) it's kinda like peeling a potato that way- you strip away a portion of the nutritional value while keeping the less healthy bits.

I once drank pure lemon juice. Yes, completely pure, no sugar, no water.

Oh, I used to do that every morning before breakfast, but squeezing them was tedious and I heard it's so acidic it can end up damaging your teeth.

And is not very tasty either :x I only did so because I needed a good dose of the good ole C

I drank a glass of raw lemon juice once myself. It took a whole day for my head to un-pucker.

The best way to do that is to mix it into a big glass of water.

GASP!

Years ago, my brother gave me juice made from a whole orange he dropped in a blender. It was... okay, a little bitter but drinkable. THICK!

Did he peel the orange first?

Nope. He quartered a navel orange and dropped it in his juicer.

When I'm done eating an orange, I put the rind in water to flavor it and/or throw it out into the yard to deter skunks. Skunks don't like citrus smells.

Does it work with skunk fursonas? Asking for a friend.

Depends on if they have skunk olfactory senses or human olfactory senses. Skunks have sensitive noses that the citrus smell of the orange peels aggravates them. Its why so many 'natural' rodent/skunk/raccoon repellents have things like rosemary in them.

Update: throwing lemons at their face does make them go away.

I recall I had a guinea pig in the past that would've had a field day with the pulp and peeling left over. Were she still around, she would've challenged that "inedible" status passionately, probably squealing obnoxiously once the scent of the orange got to her nose. XD Odd girl, seemed to enjoy that white membrane between the flesh and rind the most.

Story time, during my country's latest war, my grandmother who was a kid at a time was tasked with bringing an orange to some family member who was sick. She was so hungry that when she arrived, she had already eaten all the peel, keeping the juicy part untouched for her family member.

Aye, more nutrition in the peel, great for health benefits. I know some recipes call for orange zest (I think fruit cake is one of those, orange marmalade definitely.) Though I feel lemon is the more common fruit where the peel is called for in culinary deeds. However, it feels zest is often paired with a gratuitous amount of sugar in most cases to counter the strong bitter and/or sour flavor. Only thing that I can think of to maybe reduce that is with something sweeter that you would need less of it, like maple sugar.

Love this.

Wait, the juice is unhealthy sugar water? Or did she change it into tang?

I keep hearing that fruit juice has no nutritional value. I drew this because that never made sense to me.

I'd suggest reading the ingredients on the juice jugs and what not you drink. They tend to add a bunch of stuff to it. Mind you I really hope you knew this ahead of time, but hey, you never know!

Ha! They can't add anything to juice I squeeze myself. Checkmate, corportativist elites!

Well she didn't blend it, so none of the pith (the white stuff that separates the fruit flesh from the peel is in there)
Which..I always thought that was fiber
