🌿 What Are Lupin Beans?
Lupin beans are a high-protein legume popular in Mediterranean and South American diets, and increasingly used in plant-based foods, gluten-free flour, and high-fiber snacks. They are naturally low in starch and high in dietary fiber and amino acids—making them ideal for low-carb, keto, and diabetic-friendly products.
