Alfalfa is herbaceous plant that blooms in spring and may be taken as germinated. It is difficult to understand that a plant used as food for horses is also an excellent dish for human food, but it is. The germination of seeds is the most appropriate way to eat and more nutritious for all. It is one of the most complete and nutritious foods available. Sprouted foods are rich in vitamins and substances with antioxidant action. Although consumption of these foods increases with age, are still not well known, but are a perfect ingredient to developing many recipes, especially salad. In general, the sprouts can be added to all kinds of soups, with the precaution of adding them when the soup is already on the plate. Do not cook sprouted, because the cooking takes away quality of live food.
