Hello Fresh‘s recipe development manager, Mimi Morley, recommends opting for foods with high water content.
She explained: “If you’re looking for a cold dish to enjoy in the sun, make sure to jam-pack your salad bowl with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and bell peppers, as these all feature high water content, as well as packing plenty of flavour into your dish.
“Alternatively, for a warmer dish, soups and broths are ideal for hydration and vegetables like cabbage and cauliflower are the perfect additions for added water content.”
For those with a sweet tooth, the foodie suggests opting for juicy fruits as a snack or dessert.
She said: “I’d recommend creating kebab sticks full of your favourite fruits and dipping them in plain yoghurt.
“Plain yoghurt and fruits such as grapefruit, strawberries, oranges and peaches are the perfect foods that contain high water content and will keep you hydrated to get you through the heatwave.”
Five foods to keep you hydrated during the heatwave
Salad vegetables
Salad vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumber and leafy greens, are a perfect option for hot days.
Whether you are using your vegetables as a side dish or are packing lots into a vitamin-rich salad, most salad additions have high water content.
Dark leafy greens, for example, are composed of between 80 and 95 percent water, making them an easy-to-digest hydrating option.
Red tomatoes are 94 percent water and green tomatoes are approximately 93 percent.
Raw cucumbers are another H20-rich vegetable, made up of roughly 95 percent water.
