Alfalfa is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world, not only for livestock, but also for human consumption. It is an herbaceous legume that is grown in almost every state in the US, but thought to have originated in what is now Iran. It can survive extreme temperatures and conditions. It will become dormant, like in times of extreme drought, and then resume growth when conditions improve..

SUGGESTED USAGEAlfalfa sprouting seeds should be soaked for 4-6 hours, and will sprout in 5-7 days. They need to be thoroughly rinsed with cool, clean water every 8-12 hours. Refrigerate your sprouts after their final rinse.
Precautions: Due to the high levels of vitamin K, large doses of alfalfa may cause antagonistic effects with blood thinners such a Coumadin. One of the biggest risks involved with using alfalfa sprouts is consuming sprouts grown in contaminated water. This is easy to avoid, never consume limp or "smelly" sprouts, and always wash them thoroughly before use.
