Those white threads or thin lining of the orange, just beneath the peeling, is officially referred to as the pith of the orange. Several years ago, my mother read about the importance of juicing the entire orange (except for the actual skin) to gain the most nutrition possible.
When you slice your oranges in half and juice them in a traditional citrus juicer, you're not getting the rich vitamins, minerals and essential fiber that the pith offers. I have come to prefer the taste of orange juice with the pith because it has a deeper, richer flavor with a lower glycemic load as compared to regular orange juice.
I cannot underestimate the importance of fiber and even though fiber supplements like psyllium are wise to take, we should not forget about the natural fiber sources, either. That is why we need to maximize our nutrition levels in every possible way, even if it may seem like a small step. Remember, all of these small steps add up and take you on a journey towards better health and vitality.
So how do you juice a peeled orange that's in one whole piece? If you already have a carrot juicer then you are in luck because that's the best way to go about doing it. If you don't have an all purpose juicer, then I would recommend getting a basic juicer that's relatively inexpensive. I like the Jack Lalanne Juicer and you can find them in select stores and also online. I think it's easier just to jump on Amazon and get one ordered that way.
I browsed around and found some for around $80 but the price varies based upon a variety of factors, such as the model and whether it's new or refurbished. Getting a juicer, in my opinion, is an incredible investment into your health and it's so versatile , as well. Yes, it is definitely great for juicing oranges, but also excellent for carrot juicing , too!
Here's an amazon link if you'd like to browse the juicers for yourself...

As I see it, you can never go wrong with adding oranges to your diet and you will find them to be a natural source of vitamins A, C and numerous others.
Of course, the taste of orange juice is wonderful but the long -term benefits are also incredible! Studies are now suggesting that regular consumption of orange juice can prevent and possibly cure a wide range of physical health conditions.
Why? For one thing... It is an immune booster and let's face it....You're immune system plays a vital role in your overall health function and wellness.
