Sol, No matter what the subject may be, you will find good, solid arguments in favor and against it. The writers on both sides present themselves as authorities or, at least, knowledgeable on their subject. So now I consider both sides, then move in the direction that makes most sense to me at the

I am also curious about alfalfa hay being too hot for horses. Where I live many if not most horse owners feed straight alfalfa, either hay or hay cubes, or a grass/alfalfa mix. A friend of mine only recently went to all grass hay for her horses, solely because they lost the supplier of the gras

I am not knowledgeable about alfalfa either. However, here is something that I found on the can of alfalfa, which may just be advertising hype, or worthy of more in-depth research for factuality. -Centuries ago the Arabs used nutrient-rich alfalfa as feed for their horses because they claim

Thanks Duncan and Peter. A teaspoon or so sounds fine to me, but I am not sure I would worry about amounts slightly better than a teaspoon. I've had horses - but still am no expert - and they thrived on quantities of alfalfa hay, as I recall. So I am now curious about this even more. And if in

What's a teaspoon of alfalfa powder, two grams approx? I wouldn't go higher. Alfalfa is "too hot" for horses except as a supplement due to the high nitrogen (kidney burden, kidney damage), and it may be too hot for humans too. Duncan On 21 Dec 2006 at 20:27, Peter M. Stellas wrote: > Maz, >

Maz, I occasionally add a teaspoonful of alfalfa to my breakfast, along with two teaspoonfuls of yeast flakes and an equal quantity of semi-ground flax-seeds. A rather good mixture, along with other items. I used to add alfalfa to my dog's dinner too. Peter

Does anyone here use alfalfa in a powdered form for human consumption? I recall seeing a note from Brooks re the use of alfalfa for dogs (among other things) wherein he sprinkles the powder on the food. I would like to include some mineral rich alfalfa in my pregnant wifes diet - and mine, but
