How much water is in your food?
Your assignment is in Google Classroom. There is a list of food with the amount of water it takes to produce one ounce of each food item. You are to create a meal with the smallest water footprint. Think of the ingredients that go in to a recipe to make that meal. How many ounces of each ingredient will you need? Try to use the ingredients listed. Be sure to include the water for each item and the total water amount for the meal. Then create a meal that has the biggest water footprint. Be sure to calculate its total as well. Did you enjoy the millet and banana bread last Thursday? If so, here are the recipes from Chef Caitlin. Remember she talked about adding different flavors to the millet to make it more to your liking. If you create a new tasty recipe, bring it in to class and I'll pass it on to Chef Caitlin.
