table, but did you know this Florida gem can easily be used beyond

citrus-sweet flavor?

One of the most popular and naturally
healthy beverages around, 100 percent Florida orange juice is
known for its superior taste. More than 90 percent of America's
orange juice is made from Florida oranges, which are grown full
of flavor and juicier than those grown in other regions of the
world. Chef Scott Uehlein, corporate chef of Canyon Ranch Health
Resorts and SpaClubs, renowned for its healthy, life-enhancing
vacations, says, "Pure Florida orange juice is my favorite
home-grown secret to adding bold taste and enhanced nutrition
to my recipes."

Crepes with Fruit Filling
Replacing ingredients with orange
juice can boost the nutritional value of recipes by delivering
essential vitamins and nutrients that benefit long-term health,
such as vitamin C, folate and potassium. "There are simple
ways to incorporate more nutrients into recipes without sacrificing
flavor," says Chef Uehlein. "I look for naturally healthy
ingredients from local areas around the country to add extra
taste to on-trend dishes."
Chef Uehlein's newly-created
Florida-inspired recipes using 100 percent orange juice are easy
to prepare and bring a nutritious dose of sunshine to your table.
Chef Uehlein's tips for cooking
with100 percent Florida orange juice:
- When making fruit salad, toss
the cut fruit with 100 percent Florida orange juice to prevent
oxidation and lend a great sweet and tart flavor.
- Substituting 100 percent Florida
orange juice for a portion of the vinegar in a salad dressing
is a great way to add a slightly sweet flavor and to balance
the taste of the vinegar.
- When making your favorite pancake
or waffle batter, substitute 100 percent Florida orange juice
for the water, milk or buttermilk in the recipe. This will give
the pancakes a great flavor and pack far more vitamin C.
- Prepare oatmeal with 100 percent
orange juice instead of water. Top cooked oatmeal with 100 percent
orange juice rather than butter or cream for great flavor and
no added fat.
