Organic Alfalfa Grass

Organic alfalfa grass is the young, green shoots of the alfalfa plant (Medicago sativa). It is typically harvested when the plant is at its peak nutritional value and then dried and ground into a powder. This powder form is commonly used in food products.

Alfalfa grass powder is often added to foods as a source of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. It is frequently found in green powders, smoothies, juices, and energy bars. Manufacturers use it to boost the nutritional profile of products without significantly altering the taste.

Alfalfa grass is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. While generally considered safe, consuming large amounts of raw alfalfa sprouts has been linked to foodborne illnesses in rare cases due to potential bacterial contamination. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated various plant-based ingredients, but specific evaluations for alfalfa grass powder's health effects at typical dietary intake levels are not widely publicized.
