Pond edibles.

Howdy! I'm looking into growing some pond edibles in the future cause I'm looking for things that have more vitamins and resources to help strengthen my body long term. I've known there's cattails, wild rice, lotus, watercress and others, but I don't have a place to plant them or anything. I'm looking for stuff similar to our everyday fruits and vegetables, stuff we find commonly from grocery stores. I'm also looking for stuff that give me long lasting hydration from food and do any of the aquatic plants do that? Please drop a message or anything below if you have anything. Adios!

Very common in Asia is the sedge plant Eleocharis dulcis or water chestnut
Here in Thailand they eat them a lot

For "colder" climate (subtropical and tropical) Trapa bicornis..
Both taste almost same but the buffalo head like hard shell huts a bit more when you grab the floating plant
and didn't see the chestnut hidden inside.

I live where the grocery stores don't carry anything other than the basic vegetable.  Does a place like Whole Foods sell pond edibles?  Maybe in the frozen food section?

Have you thought about considering aquaculture on a small scale or growing pond edibles in an aquarium?

Similar to this:

Eventually I'm going to rejigger some of the extra fishtank gear into a genuine indoor aquaponics setup,

Plants in submerged pots

Have you thought about growing spirulina?

Could we plant our pond edibles in aquaponics when we are in indoors?

The only other plant I can think of off the top of my head is Wapato. I have no idea about any of the things you're asking, though.

Wapato and water chestnuts are both good suggestions.

These plants are edible and recommended for pond edibles:

  Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), Watercress (Nasturtium officinale), Water Spinach (Ipomoea aquatic), Taro (Colocasia esculenta), Water Chestnut (Eleocharis dulci), and Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea batatas)

Another one I know of is pennywort. My favorite plant is an understory version of the arrowhead, called the bunched arrowhead. Though is endangered, so, obviously not eaten, was a Native American food source. Grows at the prettiest and rarest springs called seeps, water barely moving in a mud flat, at exposed gold veins. Looks like an orchid.

Because I have tested and done a lot of aquaponics, designed my own system

I can tell you that indoor Aquaponics (except in greenhouses) won't work.
You have not enough sunlight at all.

Just use common sense and look where water plats are growing:

The strongest plants you see where is no shade from the trees growing near the water body.

I'm looking for something closer to kale and greens that have more nutrients and oxidents than the ordinary ones from the grocery store. I also wanna use them for salad or stir fry. Is there any way to store them for years to come whenever I need them for future use?

It's a bit off topic when you are looking for water plants and mention kale (You asked before in another thread)

But there are lots of seeds that store for a generation or even a lifetime.
I used seeds from my Grandparents, that were badly stored for decades found in an old locker in a cellar just in paper bags that were falling almost to dust.

Still they had a good germination rate.

I remember around my grandfather's house that tobacco he used to grow during WW2 came up in the 90's when the soil got disturbed.
The seeds are more tiny than poppy seeds and still managed to survive in the soil all winters and summers for more than 40 years.

some of these kits tell you even which plant and breed it is, so when you find them on the market you could easily make your own
Doomsday kit for a small coin.

I hope this helps.....

I mean pond plants that just taste like them, not kale or greens themselves. You just got it confused. I meant using pond plants for salads or stir fry. Watercress's one, but I'm looking for others that l could use for salad or stir fry. Any others out there?
