Examples

• "For a quick breakfast, she made a pitcher of juice from frozen orange juice."
• "The recipe calls for one can of frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed."
• "Compared to fresh-squeezed, frozen orange juice is often more economical and has a longer shelf life."

Advanced Usage

• Often used in the full form "frozen orange juice concentrate."
• Can be part of larger noun phrases, e.g., "a can of frozen orange juice," "frozen orange juice section."

Variants and Related Words

• Orange juice concentrate (n): The concentrated form before or after freezing; a near-synonym.
• Reconstituted orange juice (n): The liquid result after adding water to the frozen concentrate.

Synonyms

• Canned orange juice (when referring to the concentrated, preserved product)
• OJ concentrate (informal abbreviation)

Notes on Meaning

This term has a single, specific meaning in the context of food products and does not commonly appear in idioms or as part of phrasal verbs. Its meaning is distinct from simply "orange juice that is frozen," as it implies an industrial concentration process.
