About Lupini

Lupini beans are protein-packed legumes traditionally enjoyed in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South American cuisines. Originating from the lupin plant, these yellow, oval-shaped beans are typically soaked and steamed or boiled, then brined to remove their natural bitterness. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, and vitamins B1 and B6, lupini beans are highly valued for their health benefits. They are naturally low in fat and free from gluten, making them ideal for vegan and gluten-free diets. Their high fiber content supports digestive health and can help improve satiety, while their protein levels make them a great alternative for meat or dairy-based proteins. However, proper preparation is crucial, as raw lupini beans contain alkaloids that can cause toxicity if not removed. When prepared correctly, they’re a delicious and nutritious snack or ingredient in salads and soups.
