About Wolffia & This Cookbook

Right, let me tell you about something absolutely brilliant – Wolffia globosa, or as I like to call it, "nature's tiny protein powerhouse." This incredible little aquatic plant is the world's smallest vegetable, but don't let its size fool you, mate. It's packed with around 35% protein, all nine essential amino acids, omega-3s, iron, calcium, and even natural vitamin B12 – which is mega rare in plants!

The best bit? It's sustainable as anything. Zero-waste aquaculture and fertilized with fermented leafy greens, overseen from harvest to harvest by a local farmer family. Wolffia uses only a fraction of the water needed for other protein sources, grows like mad, and tastes beautifully mild with a slight umami kick. I've created these 12 recipes to show you just how versatile this little green gem can be.

A Word on Cooking with Wolffia:

  • Keep it cool when you can – Heat destroys some nutrients, so add it fresh to smoothies, dips, and salads when possible (here: always using the powder!)
  • Low and slow for cooking – When heating, keep temps under 70Β°C (160Β°F) for maximum nutrition
  • Pair it smart – Vitamin C-rich foods (lemon, tomatoes) help iron absorption; healthy fats help with vitamin A
  • Texture matters – Powder blends beautifully; it makes sauces and batters extra green and packs a subtle umami, protein punch

Let's get stuck in!

1. Rise & Shine Green Power Smoothie Bowl

V | VG | GF | DF β€’ ⏱️ 5 min β€’ πŸ‘₯ Serves 2
Rise & Shine Green Power Smoothie Bowl

For the smoothie base

  • 150g (5.3 oz) frozen mango chunks1 ripe banana20g (ΒΎ oz) Wolffia globosa powder200ml (ΒΎ cup) coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp almond butter4-5 ice cubesJuice of Β½ lime

For the toppings

  • 30g (1 oz) granola1 kiwi fruit, sliced2 tbsp coconut flakes1 tbsp chia seeds6-8 fresh berries
  • Drizzle of honey (optional)

Method

  1. Chuck your frozen mango, banana, Wolffia powder, coconut milk, almond butter, lime juice, and ice into a high-powered blender. Blitz until silky smooth and thick – you want that soft-serve consistency.
  2. Pour into two bowls and get creative with your toppings. I like to arrange them in neat rows – looks beautiful, innit?
  3. Sprinkle over the chia seeds and add that optional honey drizzle if you fancy it.

Jamie's Tips

The Wolffia powder stays completely raw here, preserving all those brilliant nutrients. The vitamin C from the lime and kiwi helps your body absorb all that plant-based iron. The healthy fats from coconut milk and almond butter make the vitamin A more bioavailable. Science and deliciousness working together!

2. Wolffia Hummus with Rainbow Veg Sticks

V | VG | GF | DF β€’ ⏱️ 10 min β€’ πŸ‘₯ Serves 4
Wolffia Hummus with Rainbow Veg Sticks
  • 400g (14 oz) tin chickpeas, drained8g (ΒΌ oz) Wolffia globosa powder2 cloves garlic, peeled3 tbsp tahini
  • Juice of 1 large lemon3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 tsp ground cuminSea salt and black pepper
  • 4-5 tbsp reserved chickpea liquidPinch of smoked paprika

To serve

  • Carrots, cucumbers, peppers, celeryWarm pitta bread (optional)

Method

  1. Pop your chickpeas, Wolffia powder, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and a good pinch of salt into your food processor.
  2. Blitz until smooth, adding the chickpea liquid bit by bit until you get that dreamy, creamy consistency. Taste and adjust – more lemon? More salt? You're the boss.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl, make a little well in the center, and drizzle with olive oil. Dust with smoked paprika and serve with your rainbow veg sticks.

Jamie's Tips

The Wolffia powder completely changes the game here – adds this gorgeous green color and bumps up the protein by about 25%. The powder keeps all the B12 and other nutrients intact. Add the powder with the chickpeas for even distribution and fantastic color.

3. Super Green Frittata

V | GF β€’ ⏱️ 25 min β€’ πŸ‘₯ Serves 4
Super Green Frittata
  • 8 large free-range eggs5g (β…™ oz) Wolffia globosa powder100g (3.5 oz) baby spinach4 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 100g (3.5 oz) feta cheese, crumbled50g (1.8 oz) frozen peas2 tbsp olive oilSmall bunch fresh dill, chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepperZest of Β½ lemon

Method

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season well with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined. Stir in the Wolffia powder, chopped dill, and lemon zest.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a 25cm (10-inch) ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the spring onions and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Chuck in the spinach and let it wilt down – about 1 minute.
  3. Add the peas, then pour in your egg mixture. Give it a gentle stir to distribute everything evenly. Scatter over the feta and let it cook on the hob for 5-6 minutes until the edges are set but the middle's still a bit wobbly.
  4. Pop the pan under the grill for 4-5 minutes until golden and just set. Let it rest for 2 minutes, then slide onto a board. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Jamie's Tips

The Wolffia powder goes in with the eggs, so it gets gentle heat – perfect for keeping most nutrients intact. This is brilliant for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. Serve with a simple tomato salad dressed with lemon and olive oil – the vitamin C helps you absorb all that iron from the Wolffia!

4. Wolffia Pesto Pasta with Burst Tomatoes

V β€’ ⏱️ 25 min β€’ πŸ‘₯ Serves 4
Wolffia Pesto Pasta

For the Wolffia pesto

  • 8g (ΒΌ oz) Wolffia globosa powder40g (1.4 oz) fresh basil leaves30g (1 oz) pine nuts, toasted40g (1.4 oz) Parmesan, finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic100ml (scant Β½ cup) extra virgin olive oilJuice of Β½ lemonSea salt and black pepper

For the pasta

  • 400g (14 oz) dried pasta300g (10.6 oz) cherry tomatoes2 cloves garlic, sliced2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil leavesExtra Parmesan for grating

Method

  1. First, make your pesto. Pop the Wolffia powder, basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, and a good pinch of salt into a food processor. Pulse a few times, then with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until you get a rough paste. Stir through the lemon juice, taste, and adjust seasoning.
  2. Get a large pot of salted water boiling and cook your pasta according to package instructions.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and garlic. Cook for 6-8 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the tomatoes start to burst and blister.
  4. When the pasta's done, reserve a mugful of cooking water, then drain. Toss the pasta straight into the pan with the tomatoes. Add the pesto and a splash of pasta water – the starch helps create this beautiful, glossy sauce.
  5. Divide between bowls, tear over some fresh basil, and grate over more Parmesan.

Jamie's Tips

Making pesto is one of those things that's so much better homemade. The Wolffia powder adds this incredible nutritional boost – more protein than traditional pesto – plus a deeper green color. Any leftover pesto keeps in the fridge for up to a week with a layer of olive oil on top.

5. Crispy Wolffia Falafel with Tahini Drizzle

V | VG | DF β€’ ⏱️ 35 min β€’ πŸ‘₯ Serves 4
Crispy Wolffia Falafel

For the falafel

  • 400g (14 oz) tin chickpeas, drained8g (ΒΌ oz) Wolffia globosa powder1 small red onion, roughly chopped3 cloves garlic
  • Large bunch fresh corianderLarge bunch fresh parsley1 tsp ground cumin1 tsp ground coriander
  • Β½ tsp baking powder3 tbsp chickpea flourSea salt and black pepperVegetable oil for frying

For the tahini sauce

  • 4 tbsp tahiniJuice of 1 lemon1 clove garlic, crushed4-5 tbsp water

To serve

  • Warm pitta breadsShredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles

Method

  1. Pop the drained chickpeas, Wolffia powder, onion, garlic, herbs, spices, baking powder, flour, salt, and pepper into your food processor. Pulse until you get a rough, slightly coarse mixture – not a smooth paste. You want some texture.
  2. Shape the mixture into 16 small patties, about 4cm (1.5 inches) wide. Pop them on a plate and chill for 10 minutes if you have time – helps them hold together.
  3. For the tahini sauce, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Add water gradually until you get a drizzly consistency.
  4. Heat about 1cm (Β½ inch) of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot (test with a tiny bit of mixture – it should sizzle), carefully add the falafel. Don't overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes each side until deep golden and crispy.
  5. Drain on kitchen paper, then stuff into warm pittas with all the trimmings and drizzle generously with tahini sauce.

Jamie's Tips

The Wolffia powder adds this beautiful green color and gives you an extra protein punch. These falafel are brilliant – crispy outside, fluffy inside. You can also bake them at 200Β°C (400Β°F) for 25 minutes, turning halfway, if you want to use less oil. They freeze brilliantly too!

6. Thai-Inspired Green Curry with Wolffia

V | VG | GF | DF β€’ ⏱️ 35 min β€’ πŸ‘₯ Serves 4

  • 200g (7 oz) firm tofu, cubed (optional)Fresh Thai basil or regular basilJasmine rice to serve

Method

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the curry paste and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant – your kitchen will smell incredible.
  2. Chuck in the onion and pepper, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the tofu if using, and cook for another 2 minutes to get a bit of color on it.
  3. Add the mushrooms and green beans, then pour in the coconut milk and stock. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes until the veg is tender but still has a bit of bite.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and Wolffia powder – the powder distributes beautifully through the curry. Taste and adjust – more lime? More soy?
  5. Serve over fluffy jasmine rice with fresh basil torn over the top and lime wedges on the side.

Jamie's Tips

The Wolffia powder blends seamlessly into the curry, giving you all those nutritional benefits. The coconut fat helps you absorb the fat-soluble vitamins, and the lime juice boosts iron absorption. Win-win! This is proper nourishing comfort food.

  • 2 large eggs300ml (1ΒΌ cups) milk2 tbsp maple syrup1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Coconut oil or butter for cooking

To serve

  • Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for DF)Fresh berriesSliced bananaHoney or maple syrup

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just combined – a few lumps are fine. Don't overmix or you'll get tough pancakes.
  4. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a tiny bit of coconut oil or butter. Pour in small ladlefuls of batter – about 8cm (3 inches) wide. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden.
  5. Keep the cooked pancakes warm while you finish the batch. Stack 'em high and serve with all your favorite toppings.

Jamie's Tips

These beauties have got about 35% more protein than regular pancakes thanks to the Wolffia. The gentle cooking temperature (not too hot!) means the Wolffia keeps most of its nutrients. Kids absolutely love these – they don't even notice the green color once you pile on the berries and syrup!

8. Creamy Wolffia & Sweet Potato Soup

V | VG | GF | DF β€’ ⏱️ 35 min β€’ πŸ‘₯ Serves 4
Creamy Wolffia & Sweet Potato Soup
  • 2 tbsp olive oil1 large onion, roughly chopped3 cloves garlic, sliced2cm (ΒΎ inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 600g (21 oz) sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed1 large carrot, peeled and chopped1 tsp ground cuminΒ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 liter (4 cups) vegetable stock400ml (1ΒΎ cups) tin coconut milk8g (ΒΌ oz) Wolffia globosa powderJuice of 1 lime
  • Sea salt and black pepper

To serve

  • Toasted pumpkin seedsFresh coriander (cilantro)Coconut yogurtChili flakes (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Chuck in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sweet potatoes and carrot, then stir in the cumin and smoked paprika. Let everything cook together for 2-3 minutes – this toasts the spices and brings out their flavor.
  3. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are completely tender – you should be able to squish them easily with a spoon.
  4. Add the coconut milk, then use a stick blender to blitz everything until silky smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender in batches – be careful with hot liquids!
  5. Stir in the Wolffia powder and lime juice. The residual heat warms the powder through without destroying the nutrients. Taste and season with salt and pepper – get it just right.
  6. Ladle into bowls and top with toasted pumpkin seeds, fresh coriander, a swirl of coconut yogurt, and chili flakes if you fancy a bit of heat. Serve with crusty bread for dunking.

Jamie's Tips

This soup is absolutely gorgeous – naturally sweet from the sweet potatoes, creamy from the coconut milk, and the Wolffia powder adds this subtle depth and loads of nutrition. The lime juice at the end brightens everything up and helps your body absorb all that plant-based iron. This freezes brilliantly, so make a big batch and you've got healthy lunches sorted for ages!

  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, Wolffia powder, baking powder, bicarb, a good pinch of salt and pepper, most of the cheese (save some for topping), spring onions, tomatoes, and chives.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and olive oil.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together gently with a spatula – just until combined. Don't overmix! A few lumps are absolutely fine.

  6. Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Jamie's Tips

These savory beauties are brilliant for breakfast, packed lunches, or picnics. The Wolffia powder gets baked, so you lose a bit of the heat-sensitive nutrients, but you still get loads of protein and fiber. They freeze brilliantly – just defrost and warm through when you need them. The baking temperature is relatively gentle, which helps preserve more nutrients than high-heat cooking.

10. Asian-Style Wolffia Fried Rice

Method

  1. Make sure your rice is cold and the grains are separated – this is key for proper fried rice.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs (if using) and scramble quickly. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the wok. Chuck in the garlic, ginger, and chili, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the pepper, peas, and sweetcorn, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the cold rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the rice is heated through and starting to get a bit crispy in places.
  5. Return the scrambled egg to the wok, add the spring onions, and stir through the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and Wolffia powder. The powder distributes beautifully through the hot rice.
  6. Divide between bowls, scatter over the cashews and fresh coriander, and tuck in!

Jamie's Tips

The Wolffia powder blends perfectly with the sauces and coats every grain of rice – you get all that nutrition distributed throughout. This is one of those dishes that's perfect for using up leftover rice and whatever veg you've got knocking about. The sesame oil adds this gorgeous nutty flavor that works beautifully with the slight umami taste of the Wolffia.

Chocolate Wolffia Energy Balls
  • 200g (7 oz) Medjool dates, pitted100g (3.5 oz) almonds50g (1.8 oz) rolled oats10g (β…“ oz) Wolffia globosa powder
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder2 tbsp almond butter2 tbsp maple syrupPinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract2-3 tbsp water

For coating (optional)

  • Desiccated coconutExtra cacao powderCrushed pistachios

Method

  1. Pop the almonds and oats into a food processor and pulse until you get a rough, crumbly texture.
  2. Add the dates, Wolffia powder, cacao powder, almond butter, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla. Blitz until everything comes together into a sticky mixture. If it's too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time.
  3. Roll the mixture into 20 balls – about the size of a walnut. If your hands get sticky, wet them slightly.
  4. Roll the balls in your chosen coating or leave them naked – they're gorgeous either way.
  5. Pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Jamie's Tips

These little beauties are absolutely brilliant for a post-workout snack or when you need something sweet but nutritious. The Wolffia powder adds about 4g of protein per batch, plus all those vitamins and minerals. They're naturally sweet from the dates, so you're getting that chocolate hit without loads of added sugar. Kids love helping make these too!

  • 4 tbsp coconut cream1 tsp vanilla extractPinch of sea salt2-3 tbsp almond milk

To serve

  • Fresh raspberriesCacao nibsCoconut creamFresh mint leaves

Method

  1. Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor or high-powered blender. Add the Wolffia powder, cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut cream, vanilla, and salt.
  2. Blitz until completely smooth and creamy – this might take a couple of minutes. Scrape down the sides if needed. If it's too thick, add almond milk a tablespoon at a time until you get that perfect mousse consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust – more maple syrup if you like it sweeter, more cacao for a deeper chocolate hit.
  4. Divide between four glasses or ramekins and chill for at least 1 hour to let the flavors develop and the mousse firm up a bit.
  5. Serve topped with fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of cacao nibs, a dollop of coconut cream, and a mint leaf. Absolute heaven.

Jamie's Tips

I know what you're thinking – avocado in a dessert? Trust me on this one. The avocado makes it ridiculously creamy but you can't taste it at all – it's all chocolate. The Wolffia powder adds this incredible nutritional boost without affecting the flavor. The healthy fats from the avocado help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins from the Wolffia. This is probably the healthiest chocolate mousse you'll ever eat, but it tastes properly indulgent!
