Lawrence, Kansas, September 2015—Alfalfa has been around for so long that it’s “root” name comes from Arabic, which means “father of all foods.” Speaking of roots, the roots of ‪#‎alfalfa‬ can grow up to 39 feet, extending deep into the earth to reveal a host of nutrients—all of them good for us.

 

PINES Alfalfa is a high potency source of the ‪#‎antioxidant‬ Vitamin A as beta carotene. It’s also an excellent source of Vitamin K, and contains ‪‎Folic Acid‬, as well as Vitamin C, calcium and iron. Alfalfa should be green like PINES, but most are not very green at all, which means more fillers and less quality alfalfa.

 

Although PINES Alfalfa is a convenient and economical way to consume more green vegetables, it is unique as a ‪#‎vegetable‬ because it is also a legume. Legumes contain up to 8% ‪saponins‬, which are also contained in lima beans, soy beans, navy beans, broad beans, kidney beans, chickpeas and green peas, as well as garlic.

 

And in addition to helping you, alfalfa helps the soil by converting atmospheric nitrogen into forms on which other plants can thrive. Alfalfa also facilitates soil conservation by reducing erosion, creates a wildlife habitat for animals, including some endangered species, and its flowers help bees produce the top honey crop in the U.S.

 

Compare Alfalfa supplements. Note that PINES Alfalfa is the only certified ‪#‎organic‬, ‪‎non-GMO‬ Project Verified alfalfa leaf. Founded in 1976, PINES (www.wheatgrass.com) is a successful natural food company, still owned by its original founders and families. PINES products are found in over 7,000 health food stores nationwide, and exported to more than 20 foreign countries. PINES' focus is on harvesting, tableting and packaging for maximum nutritional value.
