Red Clover is a flowering plant belonging to the legume family, known scientifically as Trifolium pratense. It features pink to purple flowers and is commonly found in meadows and grasslands. This plant is often used as a forage crop for livestock due to its high protein content and ability to improve soil quality through nitrogen fixation.
In addition to its agricultural uses, Red Clover is also recognized for its potential health benefits. It contains isoflavones, which are compounds that may mimic estrogen in the body. As a result, it is sometimes used in herbal remedies for menopausal symptoms and other hormonal imbalances.
