About Duckweed
Duckweed is a small, nutrient-dense aquatic plant traditionally used in Asian cuisines and gaining attention worldwide as a green superfood. Packed with protein, duckweed contains essential amino acids, making it a popular plant-based protein source. It is also rich in vitamins like A, B12, and K, minerals such as iron and magnesium, as well as antioxidants that support overall health. It’s often incorporated into smoothies, soups, or as a powdered supplement. Originating from freshwater environments, duckweed has been cultivated for centuries in regions like Southeast Asia for human consumption and animal feed. Its high fiber content aids digestion, while its low carbohydrate profile makes it suitable for many dietary plans. However, duckweed may absorb contaminants from water sources if not properly cultivated, so always ensure you consume duckweed grown in clean, regulated conditions. Sustainable and nutrient-packed, duckweed is a unique plant with immense health potential.
