Alfalfa seeds are the fruits of the plant, as it is a leguminous plant. The seeds are found inside a twisted pod and can produce 6 to 7 seeds per pod. The alfalfa plant produces seeds several times a year, depending on the growing conditions, age of the plant and irrigation.

Alfalfa seeds can be eaten like any other legume, such as quinoa or lentils. They should not be eaten raw, even if they retain all their nutrients, as it will be more difficult for our body to process them.
