Essen bei warmen wetter (German for “eating in warm weather”) refers to the practice of consuming food and beverages during hot or warm weather conditions. It encompasses various culinary traditions and preferences aimed at providing refreshment, hydration, and nourishment while coping with high temperatures.
During warm weather, the body’s metabolism and fluid levels are affected, leading to increased thirst and a desire for lighter, cooler foods. Essen bei warmen wetter thus often involves consuming hydrating fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, cucumber, and tomatoes, as well as chilled soups, salads, and beverages. These foods and drinks help replenish electrolytes, cool down the body, and prevent dehydration.
