🧪 How It Works
Paste your recipe's ingredient list and we will calculate the total water footprint. Each ingredient is matched to a crop database with California-specific and global water usage data.
- Supports common measurements (cups, tablespoons, pounds, ounces)
- Automatically converts volumes to weight for water calculations
- Compares CA/US-sourced vs globally-sourced water costs

🔍 California Crop Database
Search for any crop, ingredient, or dish name to see detailed water usage facts. Dish names are automatically broken down into their component ingredients.
- California-grown crops include local water footprint data
- Compare CA water efficiency against global averages
- Browse detailed facts and data sources per crop
🌍 Sourcing Scenarios
Compare the water footprint of your ingredients across three sourcing strategies. See how choosing domestic versus imported products affects total water consumption.
- All Domestic: Everything sourced from CA/US production
- Maximize Imports: Each crop from the lowest-water trading partner
- Apportioned: Weighted by actual US trade flow data
