Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to eat the peel?
Due to our processing method, our lupins have a thinner skin compared to traditional options. This means that eating the skin is not only safe, but also enjoyable.
As a bonus, all the fiber content is found in the peel, so you'll miss out on the gut health benefits of lupins if you decide to remove it!
How do you treat your lupin beans?
The production of lupins involves a de-bittering process where the lupins are boiled and subsequently subjected to extensive washing in water to remove their alkaloids*. The process is time-consuming but is done with great care so that the incredible nutritional benefits of this powerful legume can be fully utilized.
The traditional method of processing lupins involves the use of strong chemicals to ensure a long shelf life while keeping the price low. Since the use of chemicals goes against our values, we have developed our own unique process, in which only natural products are used to treat tarwi lupins.
This means that our lupins are a little more expensive, but of higher quality. Furthermore, they have a thinner husk (the outer layer that surrounds the lupin), which allows them to be eaten with the husk, where all their fiber content is located!
*Alkaloids are antinutritional compounds in the grain, notoriously bitter and toxic to humans and farm animals.
How are lupins beneficial for the digestive system?
Lupins are considered beneficial for the gut due to their high content of prebiotic fibers, which support beneficial gut bacteria, and their low starch levels, making them easier to digest.
Unlike other legumes, lupins are also naturally low in antinutritional compounds, such as lectins, making them less likely to cause digestive discomfort.
They also have anti-inflammatory properties, derived from beta-glucans, are rich in proteins for tissue repair, contain antioxidants that protect the gut, and promote satiety, helping to avoid overeating.
Is it safe to give lupin bean snacks to children?
Because we use only high-quality, all-natural ingredients, our Lupin Snacks are safe to give to children, assuming the child is not allergic or intolerant to any of the listed ingredients.
Please note that our snacks are produced in a factory that handles gluten and tree nuts. Although they are naturally plant-based, gluten-free, and tree nut-free, cross-contamination may occur.
Is it safe to eat lupin bean snacks during pregnancy?

Do lupin bean chips contain any allergens?
Like other protein-rich foods (such as peanuts or soy), lupins can trigger an allergic reaction. People allergic to peanuts have been shown to react to lupins as well—pay attention if this is the case for you!
