Centuries ago, the Arabs used nutrient-rich alfalfa as feed for their horses,
because they claimed that it made the animals swift and strong. 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.
Suggested Use:
Alfalfa powder can be taken blended into vegetable juices, used in baking,
or in vegetarian dishes. Add 1 rounded tablespoon of alfalfa powder to 12
ounces of your favorite juice and stir vigorously or use blender. Tomato
or carrot juice is suggested. You may also add this to fruit smoothie blender
drinks to increase the nutritional content.
