Organic Alfalfa (Lucerne) seeds for sprouting - Use, precautions and growing
Alfalfa - or lucerne - is without doubt the best known and most popular sprouted seed. Easy to sprout, with a mild, refreshing taste.
🌱 The name "alfalfa" comes from Arabic and means "father of all food". Its seeds were even found in the tombs of certain Egyptian pharaohs - which says a lot about the esteem in which ancient civilisations held it. The term lucerne, for its part, refers to its use as fodder for animals. Both names refer to the same extraordinary plant.
Soaking: 12 hours
Germination: 5 days
It is very easy to grow in the Easygreen Light or in the Easygreen Sol. A jar and a piece of muslin also do the job very well to get started.

🌱 Precautions and contraindications
Alfalfa sprouts are safe for the vast majority of people. A few precautions are nevertheless worth knowing - and honestly, mentioning them clearly is a mark of respect for you:
• Autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis): alfalfa contains canavanine, an amino acid that may stimulate immune activity. Ask your doctor's advice before regular consumption.
• Anticoagulant treatments : alfalfa contains vitamin K and may interact with certain anticoagulants (warfarin type). If you are on medical treatment, consult your doctor.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding : moderate consumption, well rinsed, is generally reasonable. If in doubt, ask your healthcare professional's advice.
• History of hormone-dependent cancers : the phytoestrogen (coumestrol) content warrants prior medical advice.
• Sprouting hygiene : rinse the seeds well in cold water twice a day throughout germination. Essential to avoid any unwanted bacterial growth. See the ANSES recommendations on sprouted seeds.
