History, tradition and origin
Fresh juice was a seasonal treat until pasteurisation and refrigeration made it an everyday breakfast drink in the twentieth century. Lemonade has been sold on streets since at least the 1600s. Yogurt blended with fruit is a long tradition in South Asia. Blended fruit smoothies and cold-pressed vegetable juices grew out of health food shops in California.
Food economy and industry
Brazil produces most of the world's orange juice, and Florida's crop has fallen steeply because of disease and storms. Mangoes are grown mainly in India. Cold-pressed juice has a short shelf life and uses a lot of produce per bottle, which explains its high price. Juice bars are a common small business.
