The Alfalfa plant (Medicago sativa), commonly known as the “Father of all foods” and also known as lucerne or purple medic, is a perennial herbaceous legume that grows one to three feet tall with bunches of small purple flowers resembling clover. Widely grown for feeding livestock due to its protein and nutrient content, it is also used as a cover crop for improving the nutrient levels in soil.
Nutrient-rich young alfalfa grass contains over 300 identified nutrients and phytonutrients. It is high in fiber and protein, and a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium potassium, iron and calcium. Alfalfa contains chlorophyll and many bioactive compounds like saponins, phytoestrogens, coumarins, alkaloids, phytosterols, terpenes, coumestrol, phenolics, flavonoids, isoflavonoids and carotenoids (provitamin A), as well enzymes, including amylase, invertase and pectinase.*
