Alfalfa seeds are among the more popular types to grow as sprouts or microgreens. A popular and nutritious addition to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. They are easy to grow at home, making them a versatile and cost-effective way to add flavour and nutrition to meals.
Alfalfa sprouts can be eaten raw or cooked. Raw alfalfa sprouts contain significant amounts of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. Sprouted alfalfa seeds are a great source of dietary fibre and protein as well.
Health Benefits of Alfalfa Seeds
Alfalfa sprouts are a good source of many essential nutrients, including vitamins K and C, folate, copper, and manganese. They also contain numerous enzymes that can help the body break down food more efficiently.
Alfalfa sprouts also contain high levels of other bioactive plant compounds such as coumarins, saponins, phytosterols, phytoestrogens, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Phytoestrogens are chemically similar to estrogen.
John Hopkins Lupus Center recommends those with lupus or similar autoimmune conditions avoid alfalfa sprouts on account of the amino acid L-canavanine (read more).

Just one tablespoon of seeds produced so many great tasting sprouts! I used to be able to buy them with my veg box, but so great to be able to grow them at home! Lovely flavour.

Love these organic alfalfa seeds because they sprout well, are consistent in good flavour and so good for my health. I’ve been using these Skysproats organic alfalfa for years now and feel the benefit of them during the sprouting season and beyond.
