Love the taste and the nutrition of these.. great product.
Regarding the concerns about alfalfa use, I emailed the company, and within a few hours they nicely described how the alfalfa they use is safe:
Thanks for taking the time to write in with your questions and feedback. We chose to add alfalfa into our products because of all the amazing benefits from it. We harvest the alfalfa leaves for our greens. Alfalfa is one of the world's deepest roots plants absorbs many trace minerals and nutrients from the soil. It's root structure that can grow up to 20 ft. deep, letting it absorb minerals in the sub-soil that many plants can never reach. It also contains all essential amino acids and is a great source of Vitamins A, D E and K. The alfalfa leaf also contains:
. Calcium- bone and tooth formation, muscle contractions, heartbeat.
. Phosphorus- needed for normal bone and tooth structure. Interrelated
with action of calcium and Vitamin D. Improves nourishment of nerve and tissue.
. Silicon Magnesium- constipation, steadies the nerves, has protective
effect on skin and body, stimulates brain function
To add to that, we don't produce or incorporate ANY alfalfa seeds or sprouts into our products. The negative info you've likely seen only refers to the seeds or sprouts. Whole Leaf alfalfa has long been revered for it's incredible green leafy vegetable properties and incredible trace minerals. There isn't any controversy about it that I've ever heard of.
