Questions about Mineral water
What makes water mineral water?
It comes from an underground source and contains naturally occurring minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Its mineral profile is characteristic of that source; ordinary bottled water is not necessarily mineral water.
How do you choose mineral water for everyday drinking?
Check the mineral analysis on the bottle: the amounts of calcium, magnesium, sodium and bicarbonate can differ greatly between sources. If you prefer a less pronounced taste, choose water with lower mineralisation; for a saltier taste, look for more sodium.
Is sparkling mineral water the same as still mineral water?
Both are mineral water; sparkling water has carbon dioxide dissolved in it, either naturally or added during bottling. Choose still water when you want a neutral drink with a meal, or sparkling when you want fizz.
Can you cook with mineral water?
Yes. Use still mineral water in soups, sauces or dough just as you would tap water. Highly mineralised water can leave a noticeable taste, so a milder one is a better choice for delicate dishes.
How should you store mineral water after opening?
Close the bottle firmly and keep it chilled, especially if it is sparkling, so it retains its fizz. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a hot car, and use it promptly once opened.
Does mineral water go off?
Unopened water kept sealed and away from heat and sunlight can keep for a long time, but follow the date printed on the bottle. Once opened, its taste can change and sparkling water gradually loses its fizz.
Is mineral water better than tap water?
Neither is automatically better: mineral water has a characteristic mineral profile, while tap-water composition varies by source and treatment. If you are choosing for taste, compare the mineral details and try still and sparkling options.
