Lupins anyway?
If you have ever been to Portugal, Spain or Italy you might have tried it - it is very engrained in their culture to snack on lupins when drinking a nice cold beer 🍺
But more than a beer snack, lupins are one of the world's richest natural sources of combined protein & fibre.
Did you know that lupins:
🌍 Can replace soy: as they are also a complete plant protein, and grow locally in Europe.
💧 Need little water to grow: as they can rely only on rainwater.
🌱 Add nutrients back to the soil & grow in the winter: meaning they are perfect candidates for crop rotation.
☢️ Grow in phosphorous-poor lands: meaning farmers add little to no fertilizers.
🐝 Foster pollination: as they grow in beautiful flowers that bees love!
