Alfalfa, native to western Asia and found in temperate zones, is a perennial plant in the Fabaceae family. With purple flowers in clusters, it can grow up to 80 cm tall and has roots that can go relatively deep into the ground. Alfalfa can be eaten in a variety of ways, particularly in the form of sprouted seeds, small green shoots that can be found on salads or in bagels. Alfalfa has long been used in traditional treatments by the Chinese, the indigenous peoples of America and in the Orient for its antioxidant properties, and is now widely consumed in Europe.

Aroma Zone superfoods

What are superfoods?

Also known as "superfoods", superfoods are natural foods (fruit, seeds, plants, seaweed, etc.) recognised for their exceptional properties and composition: rich in nutrients, proteins, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants… in concentrations that are generally higher than those of other foods. Their remarkable nutritional compositions are beneficial as part of a balanced, healthy diet.

100% plant-based composition

No unnecessary additives: we've selected 100% pure superfoods so we avoid unnecessary ingredients in our products. There are no hidden additives, our compositions are totally transparent, 100% pure plant!

Plants selected for their benefits

The superfoods we offer are the result of extensive bibliographical research. These studies have enabled us to gain a better understanding of the virtues and benefits of each plant, so that we can offer you a selection of the most interesting superfoods for their nutritional value, their richness in active ingredients and their properties.

Controlled sourcing and traceability

All our superfoods and their suppliers are rigorously selected for their quality, the traceability of their plants and the way they are obtained, which respects the active plant ingredients. These products are controlled according to strict specifications to ensure their microbiological purity and the absence of contaminants (heavy metals, pesticides…).

Packaged in kraft doypacks

As part of our drive to reduce the use of plastic, we have decided to package our super foods in kraft paper doypacks, lined with PE / EVOH-PE film, which is essential for protecting the powders from moisture and oxygen. These bags can be recycled. Remember to put them in the appropriate selective sorting bin.
