Alfalfa is a perennial plant (with a life span of more than two years) and is known as the "king of pasture". Fresh alfalfa is a seasonal vegetable in the south of the Yangtze River. Some places are called "grass heads", and we often eat "bouquets of grass heads" and "grass heads circles", and some places are called "cauliflower". There is also a dish called "mussel stir-fried flowers". Alfalfa has high nutritional value, rich in vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin B, and rich in dietary fiber, with low calories. It is an excellent food with high fiber and low calorie, which is very suitable for girls who lose weight. Alfalfa is not only delicious, but also has many functions such as clearing the spleen and stomach, benefiting the small intestine and reducing bladder stones. Because fresh alfalfa is rich in protein, if it is not carefully preserved, it will not only turn yellow or rot, but also be prone to insects.

So how can we keep alfalfa fresh for a long time? Here are some methods to share for your reference.

Method 1: Wrap the fresh alfalfa in newspaper and put it in the refrigerator for freezing.

Method 2: Wrap fresh alfalfa in newspaper, put it in a box, put some desiccant in the box, then seal the box and put it in a dark place.

Method 3: marinate the fresh alfalfa with salt, then wring out the water, put it in a fresh-keeping bag and freeze it in the refrigerator.
