The Fastest Growing Food on Earth: Why is the World’s Most Efficient Protein Labeled a Weed? Duckweed is the fastest-growing flowering plant on Earth, doubling its mass every 16 to 48 hours. On a dry-matter basis, it can contain up to 45% protein—meaning one acre of duckweed produces 5 to 10 times more protein than an acre of soybeans. While it has been used as a staple “water vegetable” in Southeast Asia for centuries, Western “water management” companies treat it as a pest to be poisoned with expensive chemicals.
