Scientists have discovered that two humble plants, okra and fenugreek, can do what
many synthetic chemicals can9t: pull microplastics out of water naturally. Even better,
each plant shines in its own way:
Okra works best in ocean water. Fenugreek excels in groundwater. Together, they make
the most powerful mix for freshwater. It9s simple. Safe. Scalable.
And it could change how the world cleans its water using the same plants that have nourished us for centuries. Imagine solving one of the planet9s biggest pollution problems with
vegetables instead of chemicals. Would you trust a plant-based purifier for your drinking
water?
