Did you know that 90% or more of fruits and veg are water based? Yup! Here at LICKALIX HQ we love that we can drink water and eat it too.
1. MELON
There are so many varieties of melon such as Cantaloupe, Cabasa, Crenshaw, Honeydew, Persian, Santa Claus, and Sharlyn. They're all a good source of Vitamin C, Potassium and all have 89% water content! Now, that's thirst quenching.
2. PINEAPPLE
This tropical plant can give you half of your daily fruit intake with just two slices due to its high amount of Vitamin C. Plus it's 95% water, what a win-win. Have you tried our Caribbean Twist ice lolly which contains this golden fruit?
3. BLUEBERRY
This berry is not only adorable in pictures and tasty in smoothies but they contain 95% water. They also give you a burst of antioxidants which can turn a stomach's frown upside down. :)
4. LETTUCE
A healthy intake of vegetables is necessary in any diet but the large percentage of water can help in more ways than one. A typical lettuce head contains 95% water! We now know why our mums always told us to eat our veg!
5. TOMATO
The most shocking fact of all is that this vegetable is a fruit! Yes it's true, tomatoes are the fruit of a tomato plant. They are packed with Vitamin A and C, Calcium and Potassium. Don't forget they contain 94% water!
6. PEAR
In Greek Mythology the pear was called "a gift from the Gods" and contains 92% water. The gods gave us one hydrating fruit!
7. CUCUMBER
This is a hefty water based vegetable, so add a couple slices of cucumber to your water or relax with a couple slices on your eyes on a rough day. It will perk you right up.
8. WATERMELON
This massive fruit is a favourite here at LICKALIX HQ due to its delicious taste and appearance. Not only is the watermelon aesthetically pleasing, it contains 96% water!
9. GRAPEFRUIT
This semi-sweet breakfast favourite has an immense amount of Vitamin C and water, a whole 90% worth!
10. STRAWBERRY
This berry is different from the rest of the berry family, due to its seeds being on the outside. Botanists consider it to be its own separate fruit! With a hefty 92% water content, we are confident this berry can stand alone.
