Breakfast is never complete without orange juice in our family. With or without pulp is our favorite morning drink of choice. Not only is it a great way to get Vitamin C, Tropicana Pure Premium is 100% Pure Florida Orange Juice is helps maintain your immune system. Each 590z bottle contains 16 fresh-picked Florida oranges. The sweet and tasty juice is refreshing and flavorful.
My kids always love squeezing their own orange juice and they find it fascinating to know that orange juice is made from "fresh squeezed" oranges. That is why Tropicana Pure Premium is our favorite. The taste says it all. We start our morning with hugs and morning greetings. While getting ready for school the boys enjoy singing songs or with my little one, practicing his ABC's. My boys are big on breakfast. I admit, I am bad for not eating breakfast. They often request eggs, toast, bacon or pancakes for breakfast and orange juice is always waiting for them on the table. They like to ask where things come from, where certain foods come from and how we get them to our kitchen. So teaching them about orange juice and giving them Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice helps them know what orange juice should taste like. We start our day by having breakfast together and talking about the things we will endure throughout the day. Kind of like our goals for the day. Having a son in Kindergarten and another who is at home with me all day, we find it very interesting to hear the things they "plan" to do each day. It gives us something to talk about at the table during breakfast other then the animated sounds of Superheroes, talk of video games and two boys bickering. Best of all my boys know exactly what to look for when grocery shopping for our favorite Tropicana juice. They know the look and my little ones know exactly which orange juice we buy.

Some tidbits about Tropicana Pure Premium is 100% Pure Florida Orange Juice . Tropicana is the single largest buyer of Florida fruit, purchasing approximately 11.6 billion oranges from Florida each year. They use groves in 22 different Florida counties, primarily in central and southern Florida. The different microclimates and soil types mean that fruit reaches peak maturity at different times, allowing Tropicana to harvest ripe fruit throughout the entire growing season. The two major orange types in Tropicana Pure Premium are

Valencia

and Hamlin.

Valencias

typically have more intense color and flavor, while Hamlins can be sweeter. They each add unique characteristics to the TPP blend. Many Florida growers sample oranges by cutting them into a cup shape, allowing for drinking juice directly from the fruit. Tropicana’s roots in Florida go back a long way. Some of its current grower relationships date to the 1960s. Oranges have been grown in Florida since the 1560s, approximately 147 years before any other U.S. state. So how's that for some fun facts about the best tasting Orange Juice business out there?

How does your family start the day together on a pure and fresh note? Do you have daily family rituals?
