{Hundreds of years|Centuries} ago, the Arabs used nutrient-rich alfalfa as feed for their horses, because they claimed that it made the animals swift and strong.

They eventually became so convinced of its benefits to their own health that they named the grass Al-Fal-Fa, which means "Father of Foods".

Alfalfa powder is a supplement that can be blended into vegetable juices, used in baking, or in vegetarian dishes.

Alfalfa powder is 20% protein and 20% fiber; plus it contains 16 amino acids, 13 trace minerals and 13 vitamins. It is a whole food supplement, valued for its nutrition, that may even have positive effects on "healthy" people.

Add 1 rounded tablespoon of alfalfa powder to your favorite juice and stir vigorously or use a blender. You may also add this to fruit smoothie blender drinks to increase the nutritional content.
