The seedless plant Azolla (fern from South America) has high nutrition value and increases immunity. Came across this article written by G Manjusainath of Deccan Herald. St. John's hospital has decided to recommend to the state government to allow usage of the fern, Azolla in food to boost people's immunity and nutrition levels. Dr Sunny Chunkapura says it has been researched across the globe. It is being grown extensively by the Community medicine department at St. John's hospital, Bengaluru.
You can make "chutney" of it or add it in any food to increase the nutrition level in your diet. It is quite good for diabetic patients cause it has no starch or fat but only the high nutrition elements. This fern is very helpful for HIV/AIDS patients.
This fern grows in water and needs very little space. Even a tub of water is enough and anyone can grow it at home.
