What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Alfalfa Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds allow you to grow one of the most nutritionally rich and traditionally valued medicinal plants in the world. Also known as lucerne, alfalfa (Medicago sativa) has been cultivated for centuries for its exceptional nutrient profile and its role in traditional herbal practices. From fresh sprouts to dried leaves, this versatile perennial provides multiple ways to incorporate plant-based nutrition into everyday life.

Alfalfa is especially prized for sprouting and microgreens, producing tender, mild-flavored greens packed with naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and bioactive plant compounds. Beyond its culinary uses, alfalfa has long been used in herbalism to support overall wellness and vitality, making it a valuable addition to any medicinal herb garden.

How to Use / How to Grow:
For sprouts, soak seeds, rinse regularly, and harvest in several days once tender shoots develop. For microgreens or garden planting, sow seeds in well-drained soil with full sun.
