About Orange-flavor drink, breakfast type, powder, prepared with water

This is the classic orange breakfast drink made by stirring an orange-flavored powder into water — the Tang-style mix that became a pantry staple after its space-program fame. It contains no actual orange juice; the orange color and taste come from flavorings and citric acid, while added vitamins are blended into the powder to give it a nutritional selling point.

Per 100 grams the prepared drink provides about 49 calories and roughly 12.7 grams of carbohydrate, of which around 11.8 grams is sugar. Its real draw is fortification: about 29 milligrams of vitamin C, 77 micrograms of vitamin A and 52 milligrams of calcium per 100 grams. An 8-ounce glass (about 248 grams) comes to roughly 122 calories, close to 29 grams of sugar and around 73 milligrams of vitamin C — a full day's worth of that vitamin.

The added vitamins are genuinely there, but it helps to see this drink for what it is: sweetened, flavored sugar water with nutrients mixed in, not orange juice. It delivers vitamin C cheaply and reliably, yet whole oranges or 100% juice bring the same vitamin alongside fiber and natural plant compounds, without the added sugar of a powdered mix.
