Juices, in their simplest form, have been consumed for centuries, evolving from the basic crushing of fruits for immediate consumption to sophisticated extraction and preservation techniques. The development of agriculture and trade routes allowed access to a wider variety of fruits globally, contributing to the diverse range of juices we see today. Preservation techniques like pasteurization have further extended their shelf life and accessibility.
Fruit juices are deeply ingrained in cultures worldwide, often associated with health, vitality, and celebration. They are used in various rituals, traditions, and daily routines.
Health and Wellness

Breakfast Staple
In many Western countries, fruit juice is a common breakfast beverage, often served alongside other breakfast foods. Orange juice and apple juice are particularly popular choices.
Celebratory Drinks

The flavor profiles of fresh fruit juices are incredibly diverse, ranging from sweet and tart to subtly herbaceous or even slightly savory, depending on the fruit and any additions.

Blends can combine various fruits, creating complex flavor combinations. Common additions like ginger, mint, or lime can enhance or complement the natural flavors of the fruits.
