| | Powdered Juices
Hi,
Could anyone please tell me where I can buy powdered juices (if at all these exist). Internet search gives me some websites in UK. Any one knows any local shop etc
Thanks much

never heard of such a thing except for Tang (and I don't really consider it to be juice). Do you have any brands to help us have an idea of what you mean?

i have also never heard of it, but maybe if you ask at the supermarket as if it exists then they will know about it!

Kelloggs and others made it - it was the latest thing but nowadays you can buy fresh juice. | This user would like to thank Tom1234 for this useful post: | |

I think they were around here already in the sixties but disappeared after a few years, presumably due to low demand.

I'm pretty sure I saw powdered water in one of the shops in Glarus town. They might have powdered juices, too. Although I may have dreamt it. | The following 3 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

shaf | | | | | Do you mean that stuff that contains anything but juice, but is nevertheless sold as "juice" in developing countries and cheap hotels, especially in the arab world?

I haven't looked lately, but I'm sure I read that on most juice cartons in the supermarket I checked.

Before we had children, we used to squeeze our own orange juice every morning.

My wife purchased some powdered "iced tea" in Migros (or Coop).

In powdered, that can't happen

But, according to my taste buds, the cheapest American orange juice made from concentrate is still way better than the most expensive non-concentrate juice here in Switzerland.
When I gain weight in the USA (and I always do!), it's because of the cheap and excellent orange juice, not because of triple cheeseburgers and 12 oz. steaks.
