There is indeed. The company's original product was orange-juice
concentrate, with about 80% of the water removed by freeze-drying.
The idea was that you could reconstitute it within a minute. They still
sell it, including to makers of "fresh" orange juice. So if you wish
to avoid this, look for "not from concentrate" on the label.
Of course, if you say "mynyoot" instead of "mynoot", people may still
laugh at you, but them's the breaks.
