How many apples' worth of sugar is in a 8/12/20 ounce serving of juice?
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoThe usual claim on premium juice is 2 kg orange per 1 l (=1 kg) juice.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoWhole oranges? Orange peel / rind probably accounts for a significant portion of the weight of fresh oranges.
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoWhole oranges, for sure. I can't see how you'd lose 50% mass if you've already discarded the peel/rind. FWIW, citrus peel is a fairly valuable commodity since it's the raw material for production of limonene, which is a really good and biodegradable degreaser. IIRC it was discovered by NASA searching for a solvent for cleaning the space shuttle.
- retsibsi 8y agoThese read like rhetorical questions, but for anyone else who didn't know the answer to the second one: - apple juice has ~10g of sugar per 100ml; that's ~35g per 12 US fluid ounces. - Google tells me that apples (variety is unspecified) have 10g of sugar per 100g. 100g is a plausible weight for a single apple, so that's ~10g per apple.
- jopsen 8y agoAn important detail is also how fast the sugar is absorbed. Juice is pretty much instant.. Where as an apple takes time to break down, even if you chew well :)
