Medicago polymorpha

「大和草本」（貝原益軒）で「ゴゼ菜」と植物として、「賎民飯に加えて食す」と記述している。 出典：大場秀章、サラダ野菜の植物史、新潮選書(2004)

Medicago sativa

中国では、アルファルファの種子は、モロコシの種子に似ているということから飯として炊く。もやしの原料。蛋白質含量が高い。ビタミンB1、B2や鉄分などのミネラルが豊富。発芽するときにビタミンCが急増する。 [原産]小アジアから中央アジアにかけての原産。古代エジプトやペルシアを経由して、紀元前5世紀にはヨーロッパに伝わり、19世紀にアメリカに導入された。 出典：大場秀章、サラダ野菜の植物史、新潮選書(2004)
