LUPINS

Origin:	Lupins have been known and used by mankind for a very long time. Nowadays, the average European at best knows the Lupin as a garden flower, because here in Europe the plant was almost been forgotten as a crop. Recently, however, the lupinseed was rediscovered and enriches modern foodstuffs.
Appearance:	Beneath the usually brown skin, the core of the lupin seed is light yellow in colour, because of the carotinoides it contains.
Taste:	Some varieties of lupins are bitter. Our sweet lupins, however, are not; They taste delightfully nutty.
Uses:	Lupin flour is used, for example, for the production of wafers, because doughs made with lupin flour do not stick to the wafer iron so much. Crushed Lupins are partly used as a substitue for crushed soy.
Contents:	Among the contents of lupin seeds we find fat, carotinoides, tocopherol and lecithin.
