Coming soon: water lentil burgers

Description

But this new vegetarian snack will not be called a duckweed burger, Jurriaan Mes quickly adds. ‘That reminds people too much of ponds.’ And that is not something the food and health researcher at Wageningen Food & Biobased Research just says on a whim: it has been studied already. ‘Consumer research has shown that the name duckweed is not very favourable, and that it is better if we call the plant by its other name: water lentil.’
