DASH Water's Mango Sparkling Water is the newest product to join its beverage portfolio and it uses so-called "ugly" fruit to reduce food waste. This zero-sugar, zero-calorie refreshment can be found in 12-ounce cans and the sparkling water drink is infused with "wonky mangoes" that were misshapen and rejected for the way that they look. The beverage is as delicious as it is simple and sustainable and it lets the tropical fruit shine as a drink that's free from sweeteners and sugar.
This new three-ingredient sparkling water from DASH Water joins other flavorful options from the brand like raspberry, peach, lemon and blackcurrant.
Across the beverage industry, brands are repurposing perfectly good ingredients that would otherwise go to waste for their unusual appearance alone.
