What takes more water to grow ten pounds of broccoli or a pound almonds?

Growing ten pounds of broccoli takes more water than growing a pound almonds. Broccoli is a water-intensive crop that requires frequent watering to produce large, healthy heads. Almonds, on the other hand, are a drought-tolerant crop that requires much less water to grow. In fact, almonds can be grown in areas with as little as 10 inches of annual rainfall.
