Did you know?
In Florida, there are nearly 569,000 acres of citrus groves and more than 74 million citrus trees. Most citrus is grown in the southern two-thirds of the Florida peninsula, where there is low probability for a freeze. After a series of freezes in the 1980s, citrus growers gradually migrated southward from central and northern regions.
History fact:
Citrus has been farmed commercially in Florida since the mid-1800s. The first citrus was brought to the New World in 1493 by Christopher Columbus. In the mid-1500s one of the early Spanish explorers, most likely Ponce de Leon, planted the first orange trees around St. Augustine, Florida.
Florida's unique sandy soil and subtropical climate proved to be ideal for growing the seeds that the early settlers planted and have flourished ever since.

Health and Nutrition Benefits of 100% Orange Juice
Antioxidants. One 8-ounce glass of orange juice gives you at least 100% of the recommended Daily Value for vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant, as it may help neutralize "free radicals" formed as part of the bodys natural oxidation processes. Some influences of modern life, like smoking and air pollution, may also be responsible for the formation of free radicals. Many scientists believe that free radicals may cause cell damage that contributes to the development or progression of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
Weight Management. One 8-ounce serving of orange juice is fat-free and, at 110 calories per 8-ounce glass, has fewer calories than many commonly consumed 100% fruit juices.
Glowing Skin. Vitamin C found in orange juice is essential for the production of collagen, which is needed for healthy skin and gums. Regular consumption of Florida orange juice, can provide you with the vitamin C you need to help support collagen formation.
Immune System Support. An 8-ounce glass of orange juice
provides at least 100% of the recommended Daily Value for vitamin C,
plus other nutrients and phytochemicals that can help support a healthy immune system.
Vitamin Absorption. Citrus foods like orange juice are high in vitamin C, which may help boost the absorption of non-heme iron (the iron found in plants like spinach, not meat products).
Reduce Cancer Risk. A prominent cancer researcher,
Dr. Gladys Block, Ph.D., reports that people with low
vitamin C intake appeared to have
approximately twice the cancer risk,
compared to people with higher (greater
than 100 mg/day) vitamin C intake.
