Tag: Cooking with hard water

Water hardness is a measure of the dissolved minerals it contains, primarily calcium and magnesium. A total hardness of 75 ppm (parts per million) is on the cusp of soft and moderately hard water, meaning its mineral content has specific implications for your health and diet.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), drinking hard water can be a supplementary source of calcium and magnesium for our diet. So, is there any benefit to hard water, or is it merely the source of frustrating household problems?
