Did you know that the California almond industry is actually pretty terrible for the environment? A few reasons why:
⠀
〰️Bees are imported each season to pollinate the almond trees. Most of them don’t survive〰️
⠀
〰️Almonds are very water hungry plants, but grown in drought-stricken California (think wildfires)〰️
⠀
Pecans are mostly grown by smaller farms, and are native to the South. They are water hungry plants too, but are typically grown in more sustainable ways. That’s why pecan milk just makes more sense!
