What is it with some people and their obsessive over alfalfa?

Question

Why are some people so obsessive with alfalfa? My landlord always have at least dozen of boxes that aflalfa grow in. She rarely make any meals that doesn't have alfalfa. She and few of her friends have a get together where they share various alfalfa recipes. She even have a bottle that have a pills made out of alfalfa (I didn't read the whole thing).

I use to know few other people who were similar way.

I don't understand what is it with alfalfa? What's so special about them?

Answer 1

Is your landlord or these people who you know obessed with eating healthy? I personally dont know anyone who has get togethers about alfalfa plants but they are not commonly grown in my area.

I did find this:

Alfalfa's primary use is for dairy production, followed by beef, sheep, horses and goats, but it is sometimes used for human consumption. Alfalfa sprouts are used as a salad ingredient in the United States and Australia. Tender shoots are eaten in some places as a leaf vegetable. Human consumption of older plant parts is limited primarily by very high fiber content. Dehydrated alfalfa leaf is commercially available as a dietary supplement in several forms, such as tablets, powders and tea. Alfalfa is believed to be a galactagogue.

In my opinion, it seems like the plant is very common in your neighborhood and someone has started a big trend with it. Not only is cheap, easy to grow, but it is healthy and can be used for many things. Hope I helped!

Answer 3

chlorophyll is actually good for us. but your landlord sounds like she has a compulsive disorder, the focus of which is alfalfa.

I enjoy it only every so often in a meat sandwich. gives a nice crispness to it with a slight crunch.
