What it is

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a perennial flowering plant in the pea family. It is cultivated as a forage crop for livestock and as a food source for humans. The plant's leaves, sprouts, and seeds are edible and used in various food products.

Why it's used

Alfalfa is used as a source of nutrients, fiber, and protein. It is often added to health-focused foods like protein bars, shakes, and powdered drinks. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor and nutritional profile make it a popular ingredient in the natural foods market.

Health notes

Alfalfa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and protein. Some studies suggest potential benefits, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated alfalfa and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Alfalfa is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
