This is where the sweet lupine comes from

Sweet lupine—not to be confused with the poisonous garden lupine—is the local (and GMO-free) alternative to soybeans. The blue, white or yellow flowering plant likes to grow in poor, sandy soil. It acts as a natural nitrogen fertilizer and loosens the soil with its roots - great for later planted plants, for example B. Cereals. As a special cultivation without bitter substances, it is grown to produce lupine products.

It is in sweet lupine

Sweet lupine contains a lot of high-quality vegetable protein with all important amino acids, as well as bone-strengthening calcium, anti-stress mineral magnesium and isoflavonoids with a cell-protecting effect. Sweet lupine is gluten-free and therefore ideal for people with wheat allergies. Studies show the effects of lupine fiber on lowering cholesterol. With its low gas content, even sensitive tummies can tolerate sweet lupine well.

Lupine is a sweet all-rounder in the kitchen. The seeds are processed into pasta (eg from "made with luve"), as lupine meal (eg from "Rapunzel") for Bolognese sauce, but also into flour (eg from "Sobo"). Flour is also found in low-carb, high-protein lupine bread (eg from "Schnitzer"). We find it under the name lupine slices (eg from "Alberts") for vegetarian "meat" dishes in health food stores and health food stores. A vegetable spread (eg "Lupilove from Zwergenwiese") tastes delicious on bread. Anyone with lactose intolerance can relax and have a lupine drink, yoghurt or ice cream in a variety of flavors (eg from 'made with loofah').
