    Question: Which of the following food stuff consume highest amount of water.

    Options:

    Rice
    Beef
    Chocolate
    Banana

    🔑 Key Points

    🍫 Chocolate
    → It takes 27,000 liters of water to produce one kilo of cocoa beans.
    → The cocoa bean needs the most water for growth compared to all other plants.
    → For comparison: With the same amount of water, almost 34 kg of apples can grow.
    → Approximately a third of the water consumption is used for transport and storage.

    🥩 Beef
    → It takes approximately 1,847 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef — that's enough water to fill 39 bathtubs.

    🍚 Rice
    → Rice is one of the most important staple foods in the world, and India is one of its largest producers.
    → However, rice production requires a great quantity of water.
    → The rise in population has led to an increase in the demand for food crops, which in turn escalates the amount of water required for irrigation.
    → Traditional farming requires 3,000 to 5,000 liters of water to produce a kilo of rice.

    🍌 Banana
    → The total water requirement of banana plants is about 900-1200 mm for their entire life cycle, which can be met through both natural precipitation (rainfall) and supplementary irrigation.
