Well, I'm not an instant fan to pomegranate juice. It tastes a little like cranberry juice, but it's not something I think I'll crave. It has a heavy mouth feel. It isn't light and refreshing to me.

It is photogenic, though, in one of my mother's delicate cordial glasses -

Here's two pictures I just took on the kitchen counter -

My grandpa was into health food, before it became a term, this was prior to 1969.

I prefer hibiscus tea to to pomegranate juice,
although when it comes to eating what they're
made of, pomegranates win every time :)

They really are among my most favourite of
favourite fruits. One can last hours and hours,
which might be why they remind me of when
life was less complicated and we could afford
to while away time in the canopy picking fleas
off one another*

I recently discovered I like oat milk though.

*that might just have been me of course

Moomin posted a very educational video about the pomegranate fruit and how to open it and juice it. I have a friend who has eaten it, and she swallows the seeds. I'm not into that. So far, my only contact is with the juice in my pictures above, and I think I'll let it stay that way.

And I'm totally not into Oranges, though I do like the color for a shirt.

I love orange juice, and oranges to eat if I can find a good one, but that's hard in my neck of the woods.

I just took a picture of the juicer we bought when we were down in Florida, in 1976 -

Cranberry juice is good. As for OJ. I have had it in almost all containers. Glass, plastic, metal and of course Tetra Paks.
Now grapefruit juice is a bit of an acquired taste but if it is not too tart it is good.

Good choice, Byron. Unsweetened, with a little lemon juice is my way, lately.

I almost forgot the most classic way to get your OJ. In the peel. Nature’s original way to serve it.

Very good point, Admiral. The problem is, buying them that way is considerably more expensive. I can get oj in frozen concentrate form for $1.49, add water and have 48 ounces of juice(no sugar added), but one whole orange, which reduces down to just a few ounces, is 99 cents, and typically isn't even as tasty.

Yes, that's good, and see my discussion about apple cider, earlier in this thread.

I'd rather have cider than apple juice.
