Alfalfa, also known as lucerne or Medicago sativa, is a plant that has been grown as feed for livestock for hundreds of years.

It was long prized for its superior content of vitamins, minerals, and protein compared to other feed sources

Alfalfa is a part of the legume family, but it’s also considered an herb.

It seems to have originally come from South and Central Asia, but it has been grown around the world for centuries.

In addition to being used as feed, it has a long history of use as a medicinal herb for humans.

Its seeds or dried leaves can be taken as a supplement, or the seeds can be sprouted and eaten in the form of alfalfa sprouts.
