⁣Give a shout-out to UF/IFAS for frozen OJ.⠀ ⠀ Did you know that before WWII, frozen orange juice was a gloppy, turpentine-tasting product that didn’t pair well with morning eggs and bacon. It took a team of scientists working for University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences in 1945 to develop a much-improved frozen concentrate to nourish America’s troops. Their innovation was evaporating the fresh juice at a relatively lower temperature, thus preserving its citrusy flavor and vitamins, even in transit overseas. ⠀ ⠀ Their efforts were quickly patented and released to the public under the brand that became Minute Maid in 1946. ⠀ ⠀ #BraggingRights #GatorNation
