DEHYDRATED ALFALFA

This is alfalfa that has been chopped and dried (by hot air). As the alfalfa is dried in a trommel, the leaf crumbles slightly and, depending on the corresponding cut, it ends up fairly fine (like flour). Subsequently, in the pressing process to make the bales, the leaves tend to move to the outer part of the bale, in the form of flour.
