Lupini Beans
Popular in the Mediterranean region of Europe, Lupini Beans are
often found at Italian fairs and as an appetizer at Spanish beer
halls. In the past Lupins were rarely used as a grain food due the
the bitter taste from the high alkaloid content of the bean. In the
the last 30 years a strain with reduced alkaloid content has been
developed, called 'sweet' Lupins. This 'sweet' strain still requires
soaking and extended cooking to remove the alkaloids. All this
effort is worth it. The Lupins family of the grain legumes are one
of the highest in protein content, second only to soy beans.
