1 Orange vs. ½ cup of Orange Juice
- Comparing one Orange to a half cup serving of juice shows that the nutritional values are almost exactly the same. There are 62 calories in an orange vs 56 calories in the orange juice. The sugar content is almost identical at 11-12 grams. The Glycemic Index is just slightly higher for orange juice, but note that both an orange and a half cup of OJ are considered low glycemic index food or beverage which is defined as a GI of 55 or less.
- There is a difference in fibre. An orange has about 3½ grams of fibre compared to ½ cup of orange juice which contains about 0.3 grams of fibre.
