Yes. As far as I know, it is used only for one special kind of fish soup. After the soup is cooked and done in the pot, put the fish soup (still hot) into a big bowl, then chop Limnophila Aromatica into small pieces, and put it on the top or dip it a little bit under the hot soup to keep it a little crunchy when eat it. You can buy a ziplock bag of it for $1 in China town.

Whoa, cool! The only thing I'd be concerned about is all the ferts that we are putting in the tank - that can't be healthy for us to eat! I recycle my planted tank water in my garden (both flower and veggie), but there we are talking traces of ferts that the garden plants love. But I'd be worried about the amounts of nitrates that our aquatic plants accumulate...
