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.
