Alfalfa seeds — for crisp sprouts and rich green manure

Alfalfa is a wonderfully versatile crop with two quite different roles: the fine seed sprouts into crisp, nutty, vitamin-packed shoots for the kitchen in days, while sown in the ground it makes a deep-rooted, soil-enriching green manure. Botanically it's Medicago sativa, and you'll find it among our microgreens & sprouts within the wider vegetable seeds range. New to sprouting? Our vegetable growing guide is a friendly starting point.

One of the quickest harvests of all on the windowsill — and one of the most useful crops in the soil.

Why grow alfalfa

As sprouts, it's fresh, crunchy salad greenery any time of year with no garden needed — a star of our microgreens & sprouts range. As a field crop, its long roots fix nitrogen and break up compacted ground, making it one of the most valuable of our cover crops.

Growing alfalfa from seed

For sprouts, rinse a spoonful of seed in a jar twice a day and harvest the crisp shoots in three to five days — our germination guide covers the simple routine. As green manure, broadcast onto cleared ground in the growing season, let it establish and grow on, then cut and dig in before it flowers to return all that goodness to the soil. The sowing calendar helps with timing, and the botanical detail lives on the Medicago sativa page.

Sprout indoors year-round, or sow outdoors in the warmer months to feed and protect bare soil.

¿Cómo germinó las semillas de alfalfa?
Remoja una cucharada, luego enjuaga y escurre en un frasco dos veces al día. Los brotes crujientes y con sabor a nuez están listos para comer en unos tres a cinco días. ¿Por qué es la alfalfa un buen abono verde?
Sus raíces profundas fijan el nitrógeno y rompen el suelo compactado. Enterrada antes de florecer, devuelve nutrientes y materia orgánica al suelo. ¿Son saludables los brotes de alfalfa?
Sí — son bajos en calorías y ricos en vitaminas, minerales y proteínas, y añaden un toque fresco y crujiente a ensaladas y sándwiches. ¿Cuándo entierro la alfalfa como abono verde?
Deja que se establezca y crezca, luego córtala y entiérrala antes de que florezca, mientras el follaje aún está blando y fácil de incorporar.
