Mineral water with gas

Sparkling mineral water is a type of natural water that contains dissolved carbon dioxide, which gives it its characteristic effervescence. This gas can be natural, when it comes from springs rich in minerals and carbon dioxide, or artificially added to create bubbles.

The origin of sparkling mineral water is typically underground springs where the water filters through layers of rock, acquiring essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonates, which vary depending on the source.

Among its properties, it stands out for its ability to aid digestion and enhance the feeling of refreshment when consumed. Furthermore, as it contains minerals, it can contribute to healthy hydration, making it an ideal choice to accompany meals in recipes that seek lightness and a clean finish for the palate.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, this ingredient is also known as "agua con gas", "agua gaseosa", "agua carbonatada", or simply "soda", depending on the regional and cultural context.
