Who were the first peoples in history to drink orange juice separate from the orange?
During World War II, American soldiers rejected vitamin C-packed lemon crystals because of their unappetizing taste. Thus the government searched for a food that would fulfill the nutritional needs of the soldiers, have a desirable taste, and prevent diseases such as scurvy in a transportable vitamin C product. The federal government, the Florida department of Citrus, along with a group of scientists desired to develop a superior product to canned orange juice (which was the current orange juice on the market in the 1940s) and developed frozen concentrated orange juice. Unfortunately, frozen concentrated orange juice was developed three years after the war had ended. By 1949, orange juice processing plants in Florida were producing over 10 million gallons of concentrated orange juice. Consumers were captivated with the idea of concentrated canned orange juice as it was affordable, tasty, convenient, and a vitamin-C packed product. The preparation was simple, thaw the juice, add water, and stir. However, by the 1980s, food scientists developed a more fresh-tasting juice known as reconstituted ready to serve juice. Eventually in the 1990s, “not from concentrate” (NFC) orange juice was developed and gave consumers an entirely new perspective of orange juice transforming the product from can to freshness in a carton

Awesome.
But it does mention people had canned orange juice obviously in the 40s.
When did it become a delicacy? I assume some Spanish crusaders must have brought them back from the Orient to Sevilla or Valencia?
Orange juice industry is shit right now. I heard on NPR you can get an orange grove in Florida for cheap since most farmers are making shit.

It's down to paleofag hipsters who treat sugar as the devil incarnate on earth threatening to give you diabetes and obesity with a single bite!
It's quite sad to see our generation literally quaking in fear over simple carbohydrates. Makes me want to go back in time and shoot Atkins in the back of his fat head.

Fruit juices will wreck your teeth though, they're as bad as any soda.

I thought the Dutch invented the Orange to justify their ruling famiy's stupid name

You can enjoy your ""perfect teeth"" as they rot in the ground in your coffin before your skeleton mineralizes.
