Description

Duckweeds are a small family of aquatic floating monocots that can be found worldwide. Various animals, including ducks, swans, and geese, often feed on naturally growing duckweeds in ponds and lakes, hence the name "duckweed." In certain Asian countries, duckweeds are also consumed by humans. The rootless duckweed Wolffia globosa, known locally as khai nam, or kai nhae (meaning "water-eggs"), is sold in vegetable markets across different regions of Thailand. Studies conducted by Bhanthumnavin and McGarry (1971) as well as Rusoff et al. (1980) have explored the potential of various duckweed species as a protein source. In these countries, fresh Wolffia plants are utilized in dishes such as salads, omelets, and vegetable curries. Protein quantity and quality are particularly important in regions where staple foods like rice and maize are rich in starch. Unlike species in the Lemnoideae subfamily (e.g., Spirodela, and Lemna), Wolffia species, including Wolffia globosa, do not contain calcium oxalate crystals that could pose health risks to humans. Wolffia globosa was affirmed as safe by EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens following a request from the European Commission pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

Wolffia globosa, the tiny fruit, is remarkably packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It contains over 45 percent protein and provides 15 essential amino acids. A typical serving of 2/3 cup of this super fruit offers 5 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and only 45 calories. Its nutrient content is quite impressive considering its small size. Additionally, Wolffia globosa is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, selenium, and manganese. It also contains phytosterols, which are linked (in a good way) to cholesterol, and is abundant in vitamins A, E, B12, and B complex. 

Wolffia globosa is a superfood.
