Because of that they&#8217;re so juicy and refreshing! Some other foods, like bread, meat, and cheese, don&#8217;t have much water in them. They&#8217;re mostly made up of other things, like protein and carbohydrates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thy this:<\/strong> The experiment described below will show you why the fruits and vegetables are mostly water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you need is: an apple (potato, orange or other similar fruit or a piece of raw), meat, lettuce leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Step 1:&nbsp;<\/em>Grate an apple (or the fruit you have or the piece of raw meat).<br><em>Step 2:&nbsp;<\/em>Let a lettuce leaf stand in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-spectra-id=\"spectra-6441474f-8121-4149-b373-d324f5d00a2d\" class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/air06.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>What you will see:&nbsp;<\/em>Water (juice) will be pressed or squeezed out. The lettuce will wilt and grow smaller as the water in it dries up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Why:&nbsp;<\/em>Most of our foods contain large quantities of water. Potatoes are 3\/4 water. Green vegetables, such as lettuce, are 95% water. Beef is more than % water. Men and animals are made up of 60% to 70% water. Water is necessary to sustain life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Did you manage to see how the size of the apple (or the piece of meat) decrease after the squeezing? Do you know why?<\/em><\/strong><br>Yes. That\u2019s true: It\u2019s because of the missing water. As you see above green vegetables are 95% water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Now can you try to answer the question:&nbsp;<strong>Why are dehydrated foods-foods with the water removed-are used when it is necessary to save space?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&lt;&lt;&lt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/bg\/2024\/12\/04\/magic-water-properties\/\">back to the list<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"discover,magic\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1708183800\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Is it food mostly water?\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/bg\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magic water science.
