What is Wolffia?
Native to Thailand, Wolffia is a tiny aquatic plant with serious nutritional density. It delivers complete protein, naturally occurring B12, plant-based omega-3s, and antioxidants in one clean ingredient. With a mild, neutral flavor and consistent quality, it’s an easy fit for formulators looking to boost the nutrition of smoothies, snacks, and next-generation functional foods.
Benefits of Wolffia?
Protein
Wolffia offers a complete amino acid profile and is ~40% protein by dry weight. Its neutral flavor and easy digestibility make it ideal for functional food brands seeking clean, whole-food protein sources.
Vitamin B12
Wolffia delivers naturally high, bioavailable Vitamin B12 — an exceptionally rare trait in plant-based ingredients. Its elevated B12 levels allow formulators to boost nutrition cleanly, without relying on synthetic fortification or animal-derived sources.
Omega-3
Wolffia delivers plant-based omega-3s in a stable, whole-food format that avoids the fishy, marine off-notes found in algal and fish oils. This makes it an attractive option for formulators seeking clean, dependable omega-3 enrichment without flavor challenges.
Iron
Wolffia supplies naturally occurring, plant-based iron in a clean whole-food form. Its balanced mineral profile gives formulators a simple way to support iron content without synthetic fortification or metallic off-notes.
Low Metals
Our Wolffia is cultivated in clean, controlled hydroponic farms, maintaining naturally low metal levels and avoiding the lead concerns increasingly associated with soil-grown plant proteins. Its clean profile gives formulators confidence as heavy-metal scrutiny continues to tighten, especially in California.
Sustainable
Grown hydroponically with exceptional speed—doubling its biomass every few days—our Wolffia uses minimal land and water compared to traditional crops. Its efficient, low-resource production gives formulators a clean, dependable ingredient for sustainable functional food innovation.
