What it is

Lupini beans are the edible seeds of the *Lupinus* genus of plants. They are native to the Mediterranean region and North Africa. To be edible, lupini beans must be soaked and processed to remove bitter-tasting compounds called alkaloids.

Why it's used

Lupini beans are often pickled and eaten as a snack or appetizer. They can also be found in salads, dips, and spreads. Their firm texture and slightly nutty flavor make them a versatile ingredient.

Health notes

Lupini beans are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of protein and fiber. JECFA has evaluated lupini beans and established specifications for their quality. While generally safe, some individuals may experience digestive upset due to their high fiber content.

Allergen info

Lupini beans are legumes and are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. However, they are related to peanuts and may cause allergic reactions in individuals with peanut allergies. They do not contain gluten.
