Alfalfa Powder 1 lb, NOW Foods

Alfalfa, also known as lucerne, is a member of the pea family and is native to western Asia and the eastern Mediterranean region. Alfalfa sprouts have become a popular food. Alfalfa herbal supplements primarily use the dried leaves of the plant. The heat-treated seeds of the plant have also been used.

They eventually became so convinced of its benefits to their own health that they named the grass Al-Fal-Fa, which means Father of Foods.
