Enjoy Fruit at Every Meal Not all fruits are created equal when it comes to water content. Strawberries, watermelon, and oranges contain the highest percentage of water, all over 90%. If vegetables are more to your taste, consider using cucumbers or celery, which have 95% or more water content, to flavor your water instead of sweet fruits. Other high-water-content fruits you can enjoy whole or cut up include pears, blackberries, and papaya. Fruits are always a healthy choice, whether in a hydrating drink or a refreshing salad.
