How does a burger take so much water to make? Its meat seasonings, exc, not 90% water stupid.

MaxTon · Answer

In addition to meat, burger production requires water — lots of it. The USGS estimates that it takes 4,000 to 18,000 gallons of water to produce a juicy hamburger, depending on conditions that cows are raised in. The water doesn't go directly into your burger; rather, it is used to feed, hydrate and service cows.

'Water has been fed into the grain that's been fed to the cattle, the cattle's been made into beef. One Hamburger is 2,400 litres of embedded water. That's a heck of a lot of water.

EHEM did you not read what i said? When u MAKE a burger adding beef, ex meat, seasonings and stuff, water isnt really added into it, If your talking about where the meat COMES FROM yeah, a lotta watter, atleast 2 thousand liters, but you asks about a fast food burger, not how much water a cow drinks
