From Wonky Fruit to Award-Winning Flavour: Everything You Need to Know About DASH Sparkling Water
Sometimes in life, there’s a thirst only bubbles can quench. It’s a special kind of craving reserved for times when water won’t cut it and squash feels just a bit too… diluted. A dry mouth that nothing but fizz can cure.
The trouble is, those hankerings are often selfish — they don’t care that you’re watching your macros, counting every gram of sugar, or trying to stick to clean promises. They just want flavour, fast.
If it feels like you spend half your time wrestling with inner sweet-toothed demons, you can breathe a long-awaited sigh of relief.
Because there’s now a drink that delivers all the bubbles without the trouble — one you can finally feel good about.
Its name? DASH Sparkling Water.
Free from sugar and sweeteners, DASH is the not-so-naughty sip that silences the word “compromise.”
This all-natural fizz somehow clocks in at 0 calories per can, all while delivering real fruit flavour and maximum satisfaction.

Wonky Fruit for the Win
Launched in 2017, DASH’s mission was twofold: cut down on food waste while creating a smarter drink.
It’s no secret that we live in a wasteful world, but the numbers behind this throwaway culture are still shocking.
In 2018, an estimated 9.5 million tonnes of edible food waste was binned in the UK — and that’s after it had entered the supply chain.
That translates to over £19 billion in value and more than 25 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
Having grown up on farms, DASH co-founders Jack Scott and Alex Wright saw firsthand that the problem ran much deeper.
Stringent grading requirements saw wonky fruit rejected by supermarkets purely because of the way it looked.
Fruit that packed all the same nutrients and flavour, turned down by the monopoly just because it had a few rough edges and gnarly loops.
That meant farmers were left with crops they couldn’t sell — often compensating by overgrowing to account for the fruit that would shoot up quirkier than usual.
Determined to change the narrative, the duo decided to put those misfits to good use by creating DASH Sparkling Water — an unsweetened drink that challenged supermarket bureaucracy and sugary staples in one go.
To this day, the better-for-you, better-for-the-planet brand still works closely with farmers to scoop up excess crops and forgotten fruit, transforming them into delicious, zero-calorie drinks.
DASH Sparkling Water: Five-Star Flavour
DASH Sparkling Water’s squeaky-clean secret is, of course, that wonky fruit — combined with an ingenious infusion method.
Instead of using juice or sweeteners, DASH infuses real fruit and veg with spring water to extract the flavour while leaving sugar and carbs behind.
It then gets a blast of bubbles to create cans of fizz bursting with subtle yet thirst-quenching flavour and almost no impact on your daily macros.
Each 330ml serving clocks in at virtually zero calories, with absolutely no fat, sugar or carbs.
You’ll struggle to find a healthier soft drink on the market — or one that understands the brilliance of simplicity quite like DASH Sparkling Water.
Options Galore
DASH Sparkling Water isn’t a case of ethics over substance. Nine flavours make up the range, including refreshing staples like Lemon, Peach, Raspberry, and newcomer Cherry.
Also in its ranks is Lime — a Great Taste Award winner and a zesty favourite among DASH’s wonky fruit followers.
The drinks are backed by a string of five-star reviews and are now stocked at major supermarkets across the country — a glowing testament to just how highly they’re rated.
It’s also slightly ironic that DASH has managed to get wonky fruit onto the shelves of the very same supermarkets that would’ve turned it down in the first place.
How to Grab a Can
You’ll find DASH Sparkling Water at big-name retailers like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Waitrose. But the best deals are to be had directly through DASH’s website.
