Alfalfa

Medicago sativa

Alfalfa is a many-branched plant with square stems and leaves composed of 3 leafets. Blue to purple flowers turn into spiral coiled seedpods. The deep taproot brings up many minerals, including trace minerals, from the soil. Alfalfa is rich in chlorophyll and vitamin K, which promotes clotting. The leaves and flowers make a mild tasting, nutritious tea that stimulates the appetite, aids digestion, and increases breast milk. The seeds can be sprouted to add to salads and sandwiches.
