Consumption Tips

Alfalfa sprouts are easily available nowadays at most health or vegetarian stores and the food section in supermarkets. They usually come in a small square, clear plastic containers in which they were grown.

Buy only sprouts that have been kept at refrigerator temperature. Choose sprouts that are crisp, clean, moist and has no sign of yellowing or rotting.

Refrigerated, it can keep for four to five days, but the “eat fresh” principle applies. Try not to keep them for too long.

The good thing that came out of the salmonella bacteria contamination is that, it teaches us never to take hygiene for granted. Rinse your alfalfa sprouts thoroughly with water before juicing.

Caution

Individuals who have or are at risk for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) should avoid or limit alfalfa consumption. Though not proven in human, this juice may induce or worsen this condition.

No matter how good anything is, remember moderation always. Never overdo by overdosing.
