We’ve discussed the importance of water quality for your health<\/a>. Even when watering your garden<\/a>, have you considered its effect on baking your favorite treats?<\/p>\n

According to a few sources, water must be drinkable for baking. Water often varies in mineral content, which is why many homeowners must deal with hard or soft water.
