Alfalfa is a perennial plant considered to be one of the most mineral-rich foods. Often called a superfood, Alfalfa is abundant in vitamins and chlorophyll. A member of the Pea family Fabaceae, it is often used for feeding animals due to its high nutritional value. This deeply rooting nitrogen-fixing herb can resemble clover with its trifoliate leaves. The violet flowers produce spiraling seed pods.

Westpoint’s Alfalfa Herb has a light green colour, with a leafy, slightly sweet aroma and bitter, somewhat sweet taste. It is commonly consumed as a tea and combines well with other herbs, especially mint, and nettle.

Directions: For making Alfalfa Tea, use 1 teaspoon with 2 cups of hot water. Steep for 10 minutes.
