Answer 1

I went to the refrigerator and found two foods with listed ingredients

1. Fruit Juice - It is a high water content food with water being greater than 80%. In the case of fruit juices, the concentrated juice is added with water to give the necessary constituency. After the fruit concentrate is prepared, it is then diluted with good quality water, then packaged and marketed. Even freshly squeezed juices are also diluted with water prior to consumption

2. Yoghurt - It is a medium -high water content food with water being in the range of 65% - 80%. Yoghurt is around 80% water. Yoghurt is made by fermentation of milk which is formed with 87% water and hence on the process base, the 87% water on account of straining and slight losses remains around 80%.
