Alfalfa, also known as “lucerne” in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Australia, is thought to have originated in south-central Asia and first cultivated in Persia (modern-day Iran). While alfalfa is typically grown to produce nutrient-dense hay for livestock, the seeds can also be germinated to produce the popular health food alfalfa sprouts. Cultures across the globe recognize this “superfood” as a quality nutrient source for many species.
Alfalfa is one of the world's oldest and heartiest foraged crops. Primitive Egyptian cultures used alfalfa sprouts to combat arthritic pain and digestive disorders.
Alfalfa seeds can be easily sprouted for consumption in about three to four days, with one tablespoon of seed yielding as much as 3 cups of sprouts.
