What is Alfalfa Seed Powder?
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), also called Lucerne and known in India as Lasunghas, is a leafy perennial plant of the pea family that is grown across the world as a forage crop. It has clover-like leaves and small purple flowers, followed by tiny, hard, golden-brown seeds. This powder is made only from the seeds, naturally sun-dried and finely ground, with no fillers and no additives.
Alfalfa seed powder has a mild, slightly nutty taste. It is a simple single-ingredient powder that can be stirred into water or mixed into food.
