Description

Bottled water is drinking water that has been packaged in plastic or glass bottles for consumption. It is commonly used in cooking to prepare recipes when tap water is not available or when one prefers to ensure consistent quality free from contaminants. It is essential for cooking rice, soups, broths, and beverages, guaranteeing a pure and safe flavor.

The origin of bottled water can vary depending on the source, which can be natural mineral water, purified water, or water enriched with minerals. It is obtained from springs, underground wells, or through purification processes that remove impurities and microorganisms.

From a nutritional standpoint, bottled water is an essential source of hydration and contains no calories, fats, or sugars. Furthermore, depending on its type, it can provide minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which contribute to the body's electrolyte balance.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, besides bottled water, it is also known simply as bottled drinking water or, in some cases, mineral water (when it is from a spring and contains minerals). It does not usually have many synonyms, but it is important to distinguish it from "purified water" or "distilled water" based on its process and composition.
