Organic Alfalfa Seeds for Sprouting - Usage, Precautions, and Cultivation
Alfalfa is undoubtedly the most well-known and appreciated sprouted seed. Easy to sprout, mild, and refreshing in taste.
🌱 The name "alfalfa" comes from Arabic, meaning "father of all food." Its seeds were even found in the tombs of some Egyptian pharaohs, which speaks volumes about the esteem ancient civilizations had for it. The term alfalfa refers to its use as animal fodder. Both names refer to the same extraordinary plant.
Soaking: 12 hours
Germination: 5 days
Its cultivation is very easy in the Easygreen Light or in the Easygreen Sol. A jar and a cheesecloth also work well to start with.

🌱 Precautions and contraindications
Sprouted alfalfa seeds are safe for the vast majority of people. However, some precautions should be noted - and frankly, mentioning them clearly is a sign of respect for you:
• Autoimmune diseases (lupus, arthritis): alfalfa contains canavanine, an amino acid that may stimulate immune activity. Consult your doctor before regular consumption.
• Anticoagulant treatments: alfalfa contains vitamin K and may interact with certain anticoagulants (such as warfarin). If under medical treatment, consult your doctor.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: moderate consumption, well rinsed, is generally reasonable. If in doubt, seek advice from your healthcare professional.
• History of hormone-dependent cancers: the phytoestrogen content (coumestrol) warrants prior medical advice.
• Germination hygiene: rinse the seeds well with cold water twice a day throughout the germination period. Essential to avoid any undesirable bacterial growth. Consult the ANSES recommendations on sprouted seeds.
