Finely milled alfalfa (Medicago sativa), a legume long grown as lucerne, made from dried green leaves ground to a fine culinary powder. The taste is mild, fresh and grassy, similar to young spinach or wheatgrass but lighter and cleaner, so it folds into everyday food and drinks without an overpowering flavor.
Made for the kitchen first. Stir a spoonful into smoothies, fresh juice or a green shake for natural color and a light vegetable note. It disperses easily in cold liquid and pairs well with banana, apple, citrus, mint and other leafy greens.
Bake and cook with it. Whisk the ground leaf into pancake and muffin batter, bread dough or homemade pasta, or stir it into soups, broths, dips and sauces near the end of cooking. A little adds a mild herbaceous flavor and a fresh green tint to savory and sweet recipes.
Start small and adjust to taste, usually half a teaspoon to a teaspoon per serving, since the color is vivid and a little goes a long way. Blend it with matcha, moringa, spirulina or wheatgrass in your own green mixes, or dust it over dressings and grain bowls as a finishing touch.
Single ingredient with nothing added, offered in two pack sizes so you can try a smaller amount or stock up for regular use. Reseal after each use and keep the pouch in a cool, dry, dark place away from heat and moisture to protect the fresh green color and aroma.
