COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Use as a clean, neutral base for delicate soups, broths, and stocks to allow the primary ingredients' flavors to shine.

3When poaching fish or boiling vegetables, using spring water can help preserve the food's natural flavor and vibrant color.
4Use to make crystal-clear ice cubes for cocktails and beverages, as it typically has fewer impurities than tap water.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store unopened bottles in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain quality and prevent plastic degradation.
Keep water away from strong-smelling chemicals or foods, as plastic containers can absorb odors.
Once opened, it is best to refrigerate and consume within 3-5 days for optimal taste and freshness.

What minerals are typically found in spring water?

Spring water naturally contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals are absorbed from the underground rock formations the water passes through before reaching the surface, contributing to its nutritional profile.

Is spring water vegan and gluten-free?

Yes, spring water is naturally vegan and gluten-free. It contains no animal products or grain-derived ingredients, making it suitable for almost any dietary restriction or lifestyle.

Is spring water keto-friendly?

Can I use spring water for cooking?

Yes, spring water is excellent for cooking, especially for brewing tea or coffee where the mineral content can enhance the flavor profile. It is also a clean choice for boiling vegetables, making soups, or preparing infant formula.

What does spring water taste like compared to tap water?

Spring water generally has a crisp and clean taste. Unlike tap water, which may have a chemical aftertaste from chlorine treatments, spring water's flavor is influenced by its unique mineral composition, often described as refreshing.

How should spring water be stored?

Store spring water in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and strong-smelling chemicals. If it is in a plastic bottle, avoid exposing it to high heat to prevent the plastic from affecting the water's quality.

Does spring water expire?

While water itself doesn't expire, bottled spring water usually has a 'best by' date. This date refers to the integrity of the packaging; over time, plastic can begin to leach into the water or affect its taste.

What is the difference between spring water and purified water?

Spring water comes from an underground source and is bottled at the source, retaining its natural minerals. Purified water is treated through processes like reverse osmosis to remove all impurities and minerals, resulting in a more neutral, processed taste.
