Alfalfa Leaf Powder

 

Alfalfa leaf powder is a plant extract made from the whole grass of the leguminous plant purple alfalfa through washing, drying, grinding and other processes. The main steps are:

 

1. Raw material selection
Select fresh alfalfa, preferably tender leaves, without pesticide residues and dry and clean.

 

2. Processing process

• Drying: Natural drying or low-temperature drying to retain nutrients.
• Crushing: Grind the dried alfalfa into fine powder and sieve to remove crude fiber.
• Sterilization: Some commercial production will use ultraviolet rays or pasteurization to extend the shelf life.

 

3. Finished product
Leaf powder: Only leaves are used, with higher protein and pigment content, often used in feed or health products.
