Anyone else love those frozen from concentrate juices?

My pitcher of grape juice. Yummmm

I love the frozen cranberry juice the most, with grape a close second. Less expensive as well.

During the summer, those would be our de facto popsicles. Brown label only.

Yeah, we were super poor.

They're better than anything you buy in a bottle or jug. The ready-to-drink stuff has to be pasteurized, which kills much of the flavor. Recently I tried some orange juice concentrate after realizing how much cheaper it was than the jug, and I was surprised how much better the concentrate tasted.

R4- I feel the same, there is a very noticeable difference in the taste. The juice I was buying was getting a more watered down taste lately. I was actually a bit shocked when I started drinking frozen again . It actually tasted like juice use to when I was younger.

It’s been more than fifty years since I wished Mom would let us eat the concentrate out of the can. Now she’s gone and I guess I’m allowed. Thanks OP!

R2 I bought the cranberry today! Target only sells Apple, Grape and Orange. I went to Stop & Shop and bought a few of their brand. I bought a Lemonade, a Pink Lemonade, a Limeade, a Fruit Punch, a Cranberry and a Wild Berry.

However, they aren’t always cheaper than the bottled juices anymore. Target has theirs the cheapest, at $1.99 each. Stop & Shop was almost $3 each and their Orange or Apple goes for almost $4!!!

They also had a strawberry daquiri flavor.

That guys hand looks like a scrotum

Processed foods lead to dementia.

Get some real fruit.

I get the 100% Orange Juice one in a while because it’s smaller than the carton and I don’t drink juice often. It’s not bad.

I like to have a couple concentrate cans on hand bc they take up very little space as opposed to the cartons, bottles, or jugs.

They’re harder to find now. When did they fall out of favor?

R11 they are harder to find now. And I wonder if that’s why they cost more now.

People probably prefer buying juice already made in a bottle.

Hawaii's Own concentrated juices are excellent. I especially like Guava Strawberry and Guava Raspberry. And the store I go to recently added the Pineapple Starfruit, which is really unique and delicious.

SAD LAST DAYS OP!!! Those wrinkled dehydrated hands have seen better days...

When we were kids, my sister and I would eat the frozen Welch's Grape Juice concentrate like it was sorbet. Out mom would get so mad, because there went half the juice for breakfast...lol!

I remember back in the early 80s as a young teenager, in summer when my parents were entertaining, they’d get me to make margaritas by mixing limeade concentrate with triple sec and tequila, over ice. Of course I’d leave some in the jug for myself.

What do you mix this with? Tap water from the tub?

I’ve been looking for concentrated OJ at Costco but they either stopped selling their Kirkland brand or have been sold out lately.

Oh, and agreed about the concentrate tasting better. You can also use less water for a stronger taste.

Concentrated orange juice is the reason I don't like orange juice very much and hardly ever drink it. Although the last time I had it would have been the 80s or 90s and my mom would definitely have bought the cheapest kind. It's also possible she watered it down (you should have seen her 4-cheese-shreds-per-slice pizzas!). Is it better than back then?

How is this cheaper? You have to buy the concentrate and then jugs of water.

R6 you are still not allowed

The Old Orchard ones are so good too

We used to thaw the frozen juice cylinder with hot tap water.

Our family version of a whiskey sour is a can of lemonade concentrate, a can of beer and whiskey. We’ve been making them at holidays for years.

We are at the mercy of Big Juice, match.

[quote]I was shocked by how good these taste.

Of course sugar water tastes good, you fat whore.

They’re necessary to make Orange Julius.

Has that been mentioned?

The packaging costs more than the product it contains.

Get real fruit.

R30 real fruit in water is great. Making juices with real fruit is great too. But usually not what you’re wanting all the time. Sometimes we want concentrated juices.

Is that a scrotum in OP’s photo?

[quote]Sometimes we want concentrated juices.

Why would anyone want concentrated juices when making your own is so easy? Just get your juicer out and cut up any organic fruit you want. Be creative. The limit is your imagination! And best of all you know the ingredients in there so there’s no sugar, no preservatives, and you can rest assured it’s vegan, fat free, grain free and gluten free with no trans.

Because they’re not alike and two completely different consistencies r34

Why would fruit juice be trans anything???

Piss off R34. This is a thread about juices from CONCENTRATE. We don't need to be told there are other kinds of juices. I have a vitamix and am a boring health nerd, but this isn't about boring health nerdery it's, again, about juice from concentrate. Please see yourself out.
