The sweet lupin is a legume that has a high amount of proteins and fibers. The beans are grounded info a flour that’s often used as a technical ingredient for the foodindustrie. Lupin is a sustainable food source because it can grow in the Northwest and as a green-manure the lupin enriches the soil with nitrogen.
Lupinfood wants to discover the possibilities of the sweet lupin. In their research they discovered a lot of possibilities with the lupinbeans and lupinflour to make delicious recipes. For their graduation of the University of Arts Utrecht they made a lupin cookbook. “Met lupine kun je alles” translated “With lupin you can do it all”.
