About the Lupin Bean

The lupin (lupini) bean is a popular legume that originated in the Mediterranean and is commonly consumed as a pickled snack. In recent years, this bean has increasingly been used as a meat substitute due to its richness in amino acid, which makes it an excellent source of protein.

Like many other pulses, lupin beans are a relatively easy and sustainable crop to grow. And contrary to soy – another protein-rich legume – they can be grown in more temperate to cool climates. These factors have further contributed to the lupin bean’s growing popularity as a plant-based protein option in recent years.

Health Benefits of Lupin Beans

Lupin beans don’t contain as much starch as many other legumes. On the other hand, they are high in protein and a good source of fiber, with relatively low fat content. Like most pulses, lupin beans also contain plenty of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Protein

Lupin beans are an outstanding source of plant-based protein. A single serving (1 cup) of this cooked legume contains more protein than a 3 ounces of chicken breast.

Carbohydrates

Lupin beans have a considerably lower carbohydrate content than many of their counterparts in the legume family, including kidney beans and chickpeas. This makes them a great alternative for consumers seeking to monitor their carbohydrate intake.

Fiber

A single cup of lupin beans contains approximately 5 grams of fiber, which represents one fifth of the daily recommended dietary fiber intake. Research has shown that fiber offers a number of health benefits including easier digestion and blood sugar regulation.
