About Lupins
Lupins are nutrient-rich legumes belonging to the Lupinus genus, originating from the Mediterranean and South America, where they're commonly used in traditional cuisines. Packed with protein, lupins are an excellent plant-based option, offering up to 40% protein content alongside essential amino acids. They are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, making them ideal for aiding digestion and maintaining blood sugar levels, particularly for those on low-carb or gluten-free diets. Lupins are also rich in antioxidants, vitamins such as B-complex, and minerals including magnesium and potassium. Fat content is typically minimal, with most fats being healthy unsaturated varieties. However, lupins should be properly prepared to remove naturally occurring alkaloids, which can be toxic if consumed in high quantities. Enjoyed as flour, roasted snacks, or pickled, lupins are versatile and increasingly popular for their nutritional benefits in promoting overall health and sustainable eating.
