Have you heard of water lentils?
Water lentils, also known as duckweed, are a promising new source of protein for consumers. These fast-growing plants can double themselves every two days and are rich in protein, making them a sustainable choice for the future. Although they are currently not yet approved as food in the EU, several initiatives are working hard to introduce them to the market. In the near future, water lentils could become an innovative and environmentally friendly addition to our diet.
