Last time I looked water use wasnt much more than a tomato when compared on a per calorie basis. I'd love to be shown evidence to the contrary however.

- apcragg 6y agoTrue, but people aren't exactly consuming tomatoes for their caloric content in a way they would for say, nuts or grains.
- Fnoord 6y agoAs already mentioned you don't eat tomato for calories. Main use is flavor (caveat: cheap application of tomato is the "Holländische Wasserbomben" as the Germans call it which is good sale if you sell per weight. Works with ignorant customers who require just "tomatoes"). 3 almonds are equivalent to 1 tomato according to this Mother Jones article (2014) [1]. AFAIK our almonds here in NL are imported, while we are known for our tomato export.
