-- A cold gin and tonic on a hot afternoon can really hit the spot, and now researchers in the U.K. have found a way to make that refreshing cocktail more environmentally friendly -- by making the gin out of peas.
So Black teamed up with botanists and environmental scientists to test whether using dried and milled peas instead of wheat for the base spirit could be a more sustainable option. Legumes are generally more environmentally friendly crops because their ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere reduces the need for the synthetic nitrogen fertilizers that are responsible for a lot of agricultural pollution.
"That's where we started to see real benefits," said Styles."If you can replace soy imports it provides big credits."
