Fruit Hydration

The verdict on how much water we should be drinking has been u-turned so many times I don’t think any of us actually have a clue anymore.

First squash and tea didn’t count, then they did, then tap water was great, but we were told never to refill our plastic bottles. We’ve been told that water can fix every ailment from headaches to bad skin – but drink too much, and it could kill you.

Over at Fruit HQ, like most of the nation we were left totally confused.com; however there was a saving grace that came from working in the fruit industry. Fruit is very high in water content. In fact fruits are made up of mostly water so as you’re getting one of your 5 a day you’re actually keeping yourself hydrated too. Take a look at how much water is packed into one of our FRESH boxes

Fruit	% Water Content
Banana	76%
Green/Red Apple	84%
Pear	86%
Satsuma	86%
Nectarine	87%
Peach	89%

So if you’re sitting at your desk trying to work out whether 6 pints is the same as 2.5 litres (it’s not by the way) just reach for a peach!
