A human nutrition guide like the one cited often has extensive tables that list the percent water in fruits and vegetables. These are guidelines. Particular varieties may be above or below the published values. The fruit nutrition website gives water contents for a couple dozen including tomato (97%), red grapefruit (90%), apple (84%), carrot (92%), olive (75%), and pear (86%).
