Question

We can cook pulses easily in hard water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Water having high mineral content (between 120-180 ppm) – mostly Calcium and Magnesium is considered as hard water. Presence of hardness in water alters the taste, color and odor and also reduces the life span of equipments, with problems of corrosion and scale buildup, leading to higher costs and lower profits. Therefore it is not prefered to use hard water for cooking purpose.

option B is correct
