The Role of Alkaline Water in These Recipes

The use of alkaline water in the concoction of citrus juices balances acidity. The balance, then, helps ease the elimination of acids and other toxic wastes in the body.

When washing the skins of fruits and vegetables, it’s best to use Tyent’s alkaline turbo water. This specific type of water can remove oil-based herbicides and pesticides which regular water can’t do.
