Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a perennial flowering plant from the Fabaceae (legume) family, one of the oldest cultivated crops worldwide and among the most nutrient-dense botanicals in temperate regions. The plant produces pinnate trifoliate leaves, bluish-purple flowers, and a deep taproot system. Alfalfa leaf is recognized for its rich vitamin and mineral profile, including vitamins A, C, E, and K, and minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium. Known historically as 'the father of all foods' and also as Lucerne, Buffalo Herb, and Purple Medic, alfalfa leaf has been used in traditional botanical preparations and culinary applications across many cultures. The cut and sifted dried leaf is suitable for herbal teas, smoothie blending, salad additions, and cosmetic formulations.
