National Fresh Squeezed Juice Day is observed worldwide every January 15, celebrating the health benefits of fresh squeezed juices. The day highlights that fresh juices are often higher in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to processed juices, which can contain excess sugar and fewer nutrients. The origins of the holiday are unclear, but it coincides with National Fresh Squeezed Juice Week, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy a variety of juices throughout the week. People celebrate by making their own fresh juices from fruits and vegetables, hosting juice parties, visiting local juice bars, or purchasing juicers. The history of juice dates back to at least 8000 BC, with the modern juice industry beginning in the 1860s when Thomas Bramwell Welch invented a method to pasteurize grape juice.
