❓ FAQs — Alfalfa (Lucerne) Powder NZ

Is Alfalfa the same as Lucerne?

Yes! They are simply two different names for the same nutrient-dense plant, Medicago sativa.12

 

What does it taste like?

It has a very mild, earthy, and lightly "grassy" flavour. It is much more subtle than Wheatgrass or Spirulina, making it easier to hide in fruit smoothies or baking.

Is it suitable for the whole family?

Adults can use it daily as a food-based supplement. For children, we recommend using very small amounts (a pinch) blended into food and seeking professional guidance if you have specific nutritional questions.
