Does anyone know where to source Wolffia globosa or Wolffia arrhiza? They both grow incredibly easy, have tons of nutrients and are fully edible to both chickens and humans. I'd love to experiment with some as chicken feed
The popular duckweed sold in aquarium stores is usually another species by the name of Lemna minor that can give kidney stones through high levels of calcium oxalate. So only the Wolffia family of duckweed seems to be safe
Now the question is, where to source either Wolffia species?
Here's a nice article on the subject. It seems no one knows where to find safe duckweed
