What Nidam al-Tayyibat says
As with mango, the system tolerates a small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice while forbidding the fruit itself; it advises against drinking it on an empty stomach because of its acidity. Bottled juices are forbidden.
Sources differ: Exception conditionnelle liée à l'entrée « orange ».
What conventional nutrition says
Orange juice provides vitamin C but as much sugar as a soda, without the fiber of the fruit.
