Here's what researchers found when they studied Wolffia globosa. This has inspired us to start searching for recipes that use this tiny superfruit!
According to a study conducted by researchers in India and Germany and published in the journal Food Chemistry, Wolffia globosa, which grows quickly and is said to taste a bit like watercress, is packed with protein as well as omega-3 fatty acids.
Easier to grow than soy (no farmland needed), Wolffia globosa may make a fine addition to smoothies or baked goods (gluten-free, no less), the researchers suggest. The itty-bitty green fruits, which may also purify the water in which they grow and could additionally be used to produce bio-ethanol, have long been popular in some Asian countries.
