Meet the smallest fruit in the world
The title of smallest fruit in the world is held by a tiny wonder called Asian watermeal, also known as wolffia globosa.
In addition to being the smallest fruit ever recorded, it is also the smallest plant with flowering capacity.

With an aquatic nature, the result of its flowering is so small that it borders on astonishment. When it reaches its maximum size, this plant barely exceeds one centimeter, and its fruit is even smaller, measuring between 0.7 and 1.5 mm.
To give you an idea, this proportion is practically equivalent to Sleepolepsis molesta, the “thief ant”, which is among the smallest ant species on the planet.
Even with its barely noticeable size, the tiny fruit still carries remarkable nutritional value. Wolffia is rich in protein, making it a regularly grown food for many Southeast Asian communities.
Although it may not excel in its capacity to provide satiety, a generous menu of this plant can represent a valuable addition in terms of vitamin enrichment, as well as in the composition of soups and omelets.
However, incorporating this plant into food can be a considerable challenge. Finding it outside of Asian markets is a tricky endeavor.
Furthermore, its shopping popularity remains limited, despite estimates from outlets such as the Food Network, which hail it as a “new superfood”.
