kivennäisvedellä

Kivennäisvesi refers to mineral water in Finnish. It is a type of water sourced from underground springs that naturally contains dissolved minerals and trace elements. These minerals can include substances like calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and sulfates, which contribute to the water's taste and perceived health benefits. The specific mineral composition of kivennäisvesi varies depending on the geological source of the spring.

Unlike purified or tap water, which may have minerals added or removed, kivennäisvesi's mineral content is inherent to its origin. It is typically bottled at the source to preserve its natural properties. In Finland, as in many other countries, kivennäisvesi is a popular beverage, consumed for its refreshing taste and potential health contributions. It is often distinguished from regular drinking water by its higher mineral content.

The dissolved minerals in kivennäisvesi can affect its taste, making it slightly salty or even bitter depending on the specific elements present. While often consumed on its own, it can also be used as a mixer in beverages. The term "kivennäisvesi" specifically denotes water with a notable mineral content, differentiating it from plain spring water or tap water.
