“to grow that ounce of almonds, the process demands 97 gallons of water”

• WillPostForFood 5y ago
  It only took ~24 gallons* for an ounce of almonds back in 2014. I guess that wasn't scary enough, so the number had to get pumped up to 97 gallons. https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/02/wheres-californias-water-going/ https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/02/wheres-calif... *1.1 gallon per almond, ~24 almonds per ounce

    I wonder how this scales for almond milk?

      Turning one ounce of almonds into four ounces of almond milk takes three ounces of water
