Alfalfacts
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), also known as lucerne, is a plant from the legume family (Fabaceae). It probably originates from the eastern Mediterranean region. Nowadays it is found all over the world. Alfalfa has been cultivated for centuries and has made a name for itself due to its remarkable nutritional characteristics.
Nowadays it is widespread throughout the world and is largely cultivated as a feed source. Especially the shoots of the plant are suitable for human consumption.
What makes alfalfa so special?
Alfalfa sprouts are rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E and K as well as various B vitamins. They also contain minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. The high proportion of chlorophyll, antioxidants and secondary plant substances make the sprouts particularly interesting for nutritional science.
Another reason why alfalfa is often referred to as a superfood is its high protein content. The fiber and enzymes it contains can also promote healthy intestinal function.
There are many ways to integrate alfalfa into your diet. As fresh sprouts in a salad or as a powder in a smoothie - alfalfa is not only healthy but also adds a nutty, fresh note.
