Orange Candy

I just juiced our 4 little Valencia oranges and 1 large pink grapefruit. Sliced each around their equators, used a reamer to squeeze out as much juice as possible and strained the pulp. All together i netted 12 oz, split between myself and be. I just needed to say that the resulting beverage tasted like candy. Orange candy. There was no sourness found in the likes of store-bought juice; even the not-from–concentrate is sorta sour. The juice was a dense opaque bright orange, super heavily sweet but crisp and refreshing. The grapefruit made the end of each sip (well, we really chugged our glasses, but "sip" sounds more savory) a tad bitter, but even the grapefruit is not like the kind from the supermarket. Once, be and conducted a taste test between our Urban Organics grapefruit and a regular "gourmet market" grapefruit. The latter was about twice the size but the bitterness was 10x. If kids had produce like this, everyone would love fruits and vegetables. If you are in New York and want to take our word, try the box for yourself, say that be and i sent you.
