About Alfalfa
Alfalfa, a sprouted legume native to Central Asia, has become a popular ingredient in health-conscious cuisines worldwide. Known for its mild, nutty flavor and crunchy texture, it’s often used in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Alfalfa sprouts are highly nutritious, loaded with vitamins like A, C, and K, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium. They’re also a good source of antioxidants and dietary fiber, supporting digestion and overall health. Additionally, alfalfa contains phytoestrogens, which may benefit hormonal balance. Despite their health advantages, raw alfalfa sprouts can pose a risk of bacterial contamination, such as salmonella or E. coli, so proper washing and storage are essential. With its refreshing taste and nutrient profile, alfalfa is a versatile addition to many meals, offering a boost of vitality and flavor.
