Pond Scum or Food?


Duckweed (aka Wolffia) is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. It has no root system and it reproduces by budding rather than by seeds — almost like a bacteria.

Duckweed is about 40% protein on a dry-matter basis, about the same as soybeans, making them a potential high-protein human food source.
