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\u2014meaning 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.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Superfood-Essential-Sustainable-Plant-Based-Nutrition\/dp\/B0DMVZWLXN\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-from-2025-12-21-21-35-31.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"Screenshot from 2025-12-21 21-35-31\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-from-2025-12-21-21-35-31.png 672w, https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-from-2025-12-21-21-35-31-480x481.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 672px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-987629100\" \/><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":987629095,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[90,60,28,7,5,74,85,6,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-987629092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-deplorable","category-editors-choice","category-great-awakening","category-hidden-secrets","category-history-reveled","category-mind-control","category-omg","category-revelations","category-winning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987629092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=987629092"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987629092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":987629108,"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987629092\/revisions\/987629108"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/987629095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987629092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=987629092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danellaconsulting.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987629092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
