Lemna minor L. olumsuz koşullara dayanıklı, hızlı büyüyen, çabuk çoğalan damarlı yüzen makrofitlerden olup ülkemizde ve dünyada sulak alanlarda geniş yayılım gösteren sucul bir bitkidir. Su mercimeği adıyla da bilenen Lemna minor L., proteinler, karbonhidratlar ve yağlar gibi esansiyel besin ögeleri yanında, insanlar için faydalı olan çeşitli ikincil metabolitleri de içermektedir. Bu nedenle alternatif gıda olma yönünde dikkate değer bir kaynaktır. Ayrıca geleneksel tıbbi kullanımı yanında, yapılan bilimsel çalışmalar ışığında günümüzde bitkisel içerikli ilaç ve kozmetik geliştirmede dikkate alınmasının katma değerli ürün geliştirme ve ekonomiye kazandırma açısından faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu derlemede, Lemna minor L.’ ün sağlık ve beslenme alanında kullanılabilirliğine yönelik çalışmalar ve makaleler gözden geçirilerek genel bir bakış açısıyla sunulmuştur.
