Duckweed: Inside the Israeli start-up using quantum farming to grow the ultimate superfood
The aquatic plant is at least 100 per cent more nutritious than broccoli and kale, according to the manufacturer
Assessment
A Tel Aviv based company claims duckweed, a fast growing aquatic plant, packs at least double the nutritional density of broccoli or kale. The pitch is quantum farming, a proprietary growing system that optimizes light and nutrients. If the numbers hold, this could shift how protein dense greens are produced, especially in arid regions where traditional leafy greens struggle. Watch for independent nutritional assays and whether the cost per gram can compete with existing superfood powders.
