What is orange juice pulp?

Orange juice pulp is the fibrous part of the orange fruit that remains after the fruit has been juiced. It is made up of the membranes and cellular tissue of the fruit and can be added back into the juice or removed, depending on personal preference. While some people find pulp unpleasant due to its texture, it is a good source of dietary fiber and can provide health benefits such as reducing cholesterol levels and aiding digestion. Some orange juice brands offer varying amounts of pulp, such as no pulp, some pulp, or high pulp options.
