About Lupines
Lupines are nutrient-packed legumes native to the Mediterranean region, widely used in European, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines. Known for their vibrant yellow seeds, they’re a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and vitamin E. Lupines are also high in minerals like magnesium and potassium, promoting heart health and balanced metabolism. Unlike many other legumes, lupines are naturally low in carbohydrates and fat, making them an excellent choice for weight management and diabetic-friendly diets. They contain no gluten, providing a perfect protein alternative for those with gluten intolerance. However, they must be properly prepared and soaked to eliminate potentially harmful alkaloids. With their nutty flavor and satisfying crunch, lupines are enjoyed as snacks, added to salads, or ground into flour. Their impressive nutritional profile makes them a versatile and healthful addition to any diet.
