What is juice?

Juice is what happens when you squeeze fruit and it becomes a tasty drink.

Imagine you have an orange, smooth, round, and hard on the outside. When you press it, like squishing a soft ball, the inside comes out, and that's juice! It’s like the fruit is saying, “I want to be a drink!”

If you take an orange and put it in a juicer, a machine that helps squeeze things, it makes more juice faster. It’s just like when you press multiple oranges at once instead of one by one.

Juice is fun to drink because it tastes sweet, and sometimes it has a little bit of zing, like lemon or lime. You can even mix different kinds of juice together, like orange and grapefruit, for something new and exciting!

Next time you drink juice, think about how the fruit changed from being solid into a liquid, just by being squeezed!
