I just have to get it to grow first! 😂 It's definitely not in the same flavor category as thyme... It's a great protein source and is best in stirfry, soups, and mixed in with other veggies.. with excellent seasoning! Alone? ummm... 11 out of 10 do not recommend, and steaming it alone makes the house smell... interesting. Not quite fishy, not quite green.... almost like wheatgrass grown in a goldfish pond, with a whiff of algae, lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been growing it on the window sill for two projects: First to add to the ponds this month, and second: to see who is faster, the duckweed or the barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Matt Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I feel compelled to remind everyone that certain species are considered edible and that they can filter out toxins from the water so do your research before you dive in to a side of these... greens? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is seriously eating duckweed, but I suppose with this litigious, no common sense society we live in a disclaimer should of been posted so I don't open myself to legal repercussions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Matt Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 @JoeQ I genuinely was not sure. To be honest I am very curious about this possibility and would try some if I had the right species... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it snowballed from my original post where I jokingly said 'Duckweed is delicious when prepared properly' Full disclaimer *** Anyone can eat anything once......

Problem Aquarium Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I love putting duck weed into my Homemade-Veg'Food. the stats on the nutrients of duck weed is amazing. id cultivate it just as a cheap additive to the food but, i have too many breeding tanks to risk it spreading. It will stay only in my outside summer pond for now, if i ever need it in the winter for food- i put out the call on my local aquarium fb group and i get free bags 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the nitrate control I’m missing out on 🐷 guppies Tons of snails AND duckweed here. I wish the scuds ate it instead of my crypts!

And that's a very good thing. I have the happiest orchids and African violets I've ever had since fish poop water 🙂 I'm pretty sure my bristlenose pleco was watching Better Call Saul with us last night. Jimmy has fancy goldfish in his kitchen - I get distracted by them any time a scene happens in the kitchen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
