7.Because Whole Fruit Is Better for You
Though both are good for you, choose whole fruit over orange juice when you can. Orange juice with pulp has some fiber, but not enough to meet your daily needs. Juice without pulp doesn’t have any. But whole oranges have 3 grams of the 25-30 grams you need every day.
8.Orange Zest Has Antioxidants, Too
Orange zest doesn’t just add brightness to dishes. It also adds a hefty dose of antioxidants, plus some calcium and potassium, which are stored in the peel. Wash your orange first, then zest it into cakes, cookies, and even on top of pasta, roasted meats, and vegetables.
