Finally Fish keepers can make use of never-ending supply of duck weed

[@enonbusiness8156]

I use mine as part of soup or sauce. 2 days later i have enough for another. Taste quite good

[@benny_lemon5123]

I can skim off my aquarium every few days and feed to my poultry- chickens and ducks. They go nuts for it!

[@migmagingenieria]

That seems awesome!!! Will be growing my first batch asap!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@darthsquidias7503]

I was growing this in a jar before I new it could be eaten it can also be feed too fish and livestock

[@CancerArpegius]

To be fair, you can grow pretty much anything out of a jar. I'm currently growing tomatoes out of a jar.

[@moraaomwando5163]

Thanks for sharing, U have given me great ideas

[@chewyfingers1288]

Looks like a good substitute for seaweed paper used in sushi

[@mi-vy8xm]

is it really safe for human consumption,how much protein per 100g,how to prepare,im looking forward for more scientific proofs that we can eat this

[@Gigachadly]

It’s a plant you don’t need to cook it but I’d recommend searing it in some olive oil and seasonings to your preference.

[@Gigachadly]

It’s more of a survival food though It doesn’t taste good it will taste like whatever body of water it was in.

[@WeAreAllOneNature]

1:11 to 1,18: ''... they are 38% [protein] in dried matter.''
She said that fresh, they are about 90% (whatever) water. So I reason that fresh duckweed is about 4% protein (4g protein per 100g).

[@spirittrappedinmatter]

@@Gigachadlyany experience in how one can get rid of the taste of the body of water it was grown in? Thanks

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Thanks so much!

[@marinetrax]

What type of duckweed for human consumption? There is many types of Duckweed.

[@Indusxstan]

All duckweeds (4 genus total) are edible. Sub-family Lemnoidea.

[@efexzium]

Cool seems like a good source of nutrients maybe with acuaponics

[@nickkorkodylas5005]

I WILL NOT EAT THE SCUM!
I WILL NOT LIVE IN THE POD!
I WILL OWN STUFF AND I WILL BE HAPPY!

[@Redgogrey]

Its duck food. I love watching this kind of programming the minds.

[@urbanothepopeofdeath]

if it was "really good" she would have taken another scoop!

[@RussellDelbridge]

Soy is a horrible protein due to utilization from the body. Only 46 percent is used from Soy protein in the body. Do you know what the protein utilization of water lentils.

[@ianiskandar4165]

More than 90 % I guess.. but yes its still very expensive compare to pea isolate.. I drink it and the much different between both is the omega 3 in this products that pea doesnt have..

[@justinw1765]

@@ianiskandar4165 Also the only source so far known of bio available B-12. But that will depend on the medium/environment that you grow it in, because like with animal foods, the B-12 comes from bacteria.

[@buckbuckleyson2259]

This is my food's food

[@MyJootube]

can we dry it out and smoke it?
