About Lupini beans

Lupini beans are nutrient-dense legumes native to the Mediterranean and Latin America, celebrated for their nutty flavor and firm texture. Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and magnesium, they are an excellent choice for those seeking a healthy and satisfying snack. Lupini beans are also notably low in calories and carbohydrates, making them suitable for low-carb and weight-management diets. They are traditionally enjoyed pickled or salted and often accompany antipasto platters or salads. However, raw lupini beans contain alkaloids, which must be removed through soaking and cooking to avoid bitterness and potential toxicity. Once prepared, they are a delicious and nutritious addition to various cuisines, offering benefits for heart health, digestion, and muscle support.
