Lupini beans are large, flat yellow legumes with exceptionally high protein content. They require extensive soaking to remove bitter alkaloids but reward with a firm texture and slightly bitter, distinctive flavor.
Lupini beans contain bitter alkaloids that must be removed through extended soaking (5-7 days with daily water changes) or purchasing pre-prepared beans. Never eat unprocessed lupini beans.
Yes, lupini beans are exceptionally keto-friendly with only 9.9g carbs per 100g (net carbs ~7g) while providing 15.6g protein. They're the lowest-carb legume available.
Squeeze the bean to pop it out of its outer skin, then eat. They're typically enjoyed as a snack with salt, or added to salads and antipasto. The skin is edible but usually removed.
Prepared lupini beans keep refrigerated in brine for 2 weeks. Dried beans store for 1 year. Do not eat dried beans without proper preparation to remove alkaloids.
