Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa ) is a plant species in the Fabaceae family. It is a perennial herb that can live for up to 20 years, reaching a height of 1 meter, with roots that extend as deep as 15 meters to reach groundwater. Its leaves are typically trifoliolate. The flower clusters consist of 5–20 blossoms, which are generally purple but can also be blue, yellow, or cream-colored. The seeds are small and yellowish. M. sativa is widely cultivated as fodder for dairy cows, horses, beef cattle, sheep, and goats. It can be grown in combination with various other crops. Raw alfalfa sprouts consist of 93% water, 2% carbohydrates, 1% fat, and 4% protein. In a 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving, raw sprouts provide 23 calories and are high in vitamin K.

Salam ( Syzygium polyanthum ) is a plant species in the Myrtaceae family. It is a medium-sized tree that can reach a height of 30 meters, with a trunk diameter of up to 60 cm; the bark is brownish-gray, fissured, and scaly. The leaves are simple and arranged in opposite pairs, with petioles measuring 12 mm. The leaf blades are oblong, narrowly elliptic, or lanceolate, ranging from 5–16 cm in length and 2.5–7 cm in width; they are glabrous (smooth/hairless) and feature 6–11 pairs of secondary veins. S. polyanthum produces inflorescences in the form of panicles containing numerous flower buds, spanning 2–8 cm; these emerge below the leaves or, occasionally, from the leaf axils. The flowers are small, fragrant, and tetramerous (having parts in multiples of four). The calyx is cup-shaped and approximately 4 mm long, while the petals are distinct (free), white, and measure 2.5–3.5 mm. There are numerous stamens, each about 3 mm long, arranged in four clusters; they are deciduous (fall off...

Celery ( Apium graveolens ) is a plant species in the Apiaceae family. It is a small herb, typically less than 1 meter in height, with fleshy leaves on short stalks; in certain cultivated varieties, the root enlarges to form a bulb. The flowers are arranged in compound clusters, and the fruits are small and dark brown in color. The leaves, flowers, fruits, and bulbs are all used as vegetables. A. graveolens does not tolerate heavy rainfall well. Its cultivation requires loose soil rich in organic matter, with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. This plant can be harvested multiple times. The first harvest can take place 1–3 months after planting. Subsequent harvests are carried out by repeatedly cutting the base of the stems every 1–2 weeks. The harvesting period concludes when the shoots are no longer productive.
