About Product

Alfalfa juice powder is derived from the alfalfa plant, which has a long history of cultivation and use.

The plant is native to the Middle East and Mediterranean regions and has been used for centuries as a food source and for its nourishing qualities. It was first used by the ancient Egyptians, who used the plant to make a poultice.

The plant eventually spread to Europe, where it was popularized by the Greeks and Romans, who believed it had many enduring qualities. In the 19th century, alfalfa was introduced to the United States and quickly grew in popularity due to its ability to improve crop yield.

In the early 20th century, alfalfa juice powder was developed to make the plant's nutritional qualities more accessible. Today, alfalfa juice powder is widely available and is used in many food preparations.
