Why is Almond Butter so Expensive? | Food Unwrapped

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

Welcome. I live in Bakersfield California USA and this is truly almond country. Almonds did struggle with the lack of water storage in California this year.

California Admission Day September 9, 1850. Let's be liberal and say it was discovered in 1750. Where do they get off saying the worst drought in 500 years? What records are they going by? The oldest record on a date is 1794. Why did they state something so untrue?

Stop growing them in California 5000kgs of water for a kilo of nuts is nuts

[@Naplesfrank154]

Kate loves those “nut” jokes in all of her but videos. She’s probably like one of the guys at a pub. 😂😂😂

[@paulson2008]

Kate loves nut butters 🤣...Kate is aware of all the jokes

[@pscheidt]

Cashew butter is more expensive than almond butter here on the East Coast

[@MichelleObamasBBC]

here in India, cashew butter is cheaper because we grow a lot of em. Almond butter on the other hand...

[@lithostheory]

That's nutty!

[@S0nder]

Our society is vile. We really do produce in excess at the cost of our world’s livelihood. How much longer will this go on til we change. Wealth is not health.

Does everybody fancy Kate or just me

[@steveday4797]

It's not just you 😀

[@heretobrew]

When she acts like she's amazed by a warehouse of nuts, she gives you the impression that she could make any mundane person feel excited about their meaningless existence.

[@lhdhdeebdhdh]

@@heretobrew what a great comment 😂

[@Naplesfrank154]

She would probably be a lot of fun out on a date. No, its not just you.

So many nut jokes, I can't..... I mustn't..... I shouldn't.......

Nuts economics

[@terryjohnson2093]

ALMOND GROWING IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL NIGHTMARE. OOPS sorry, caps. Almond farming uses ridiculous amounts of water. Farmers like that guy who uses pumped groundwater have removed so much water that the ground level has fallen by as much as 6 feet in some areas. Think of the ground like a sponge, when you compress it, it holds less water and unlike a sponge, the ground does not spring back into shape, so that the water holding capacity is gone forever. The short-sided greed of these growers is sad. There are so many other crops that do not use a fraction of the water that almonds need that they could grow. Stop buying almond milk. You are not helping.

[@timshippam3906]

Exactly what I was going to say... It's criminal really...

[@Questchaun]

Almonds orchards are the biggest water wasters.

[@abdullahmohammed6115]

[@spappy2k6]

Man-made drought, mind you.

[@spappy2k6]

@@ftswarbill you know what they say about assuming, don't you? And after your snide little comment, I can't decide who's nuttier: you, or the ignoramus who decided to empty lake Mead in California after record rainfall, all to protect a non-native "endangered" species. Have a great day! 😁

[@michaelrae9599]

They can look at core samples and tell how much rain has fallen year over year. It's called science.

[@Naplesfrank154]

It sounds better.

[@TootieProduct]

How is this better than butter from cows?

[@mechanicalgardenthings]

Almond butter doesn't really replace butter from cows, it would be a replacement for peanut butter, maybe someone wants to try something other than peanut butter or they have a peanut allergy, but aren't allergic to almonds. Other nut butters are super expensive in comparison to peanut butter and almonds aren't really that great to grow because of where they're grown (an area that is short on water supply) and how much water they take to grow.

Someone please fix this lady hair. 🤣
