Alfalfa Seeds - One of our personal favorites! 90% germination guaranteed. 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. Alfalfa Seeds are the most popular form of sprouting seeds and can be used in a wide variety of recipes, or enjoyed on their own as a quick, nutrient rich snack. As an outstanding source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and dietary fiber, NOW Alfalfa Seeds can put a healthy twist to your favorite salads, sandwiches, spreads, dips and cooked dishes.
