A Powerhouse Food

Compared with other legumes, lupini beans are:
❖
Lower in calories but higher in nutrients, including thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin C, calcium,
potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc.
❖
One of the richest sources of plant protein and fibre (at least twice as much as other legumes,
contributing to their hunger-busting effect).
❖
Much lower in carbs, with a lower glycaemic index
A significant source of polyphenols and zeaxanthin, which include beneficial antioxidants and
cholesterol-lowering phytosterols.
❖
A good source of all nine essential amino acids ...
Including arginine, which lowers blood pressure.
❖
A source of the novel protein gamma conglutin, which may help to regulate blood glucose
and insulin levels, as shown in a La Trobe University study on lupin biscuits.

The health benefits of lupin — the powerhouse legume
You’ve probably heard of lentils, chickpeas and red kidney beans, but what about lupins, the rising star of the legume world?
Dietetics expert Antigone Kouris
takes you through the health benefits of powerhouse legume lupin.
Your guide to lupin
While lentils and chickpeas are a fixture on supermarket shelves, the lupin is a less familiar sight.
This yellow bean, the seed of the lupin flowering plant, has been part of the traditional Mediterranean diet for centuries.
Particularly popular in Egypt and parts of South America, lupins are now grown in Australia.
Legumes such as lupins make excellent meat substitutes — so if you’ve been wanting to reduce your meat intake and eat healthier meals, legumes are your go-to ingredient.
Studies confirm that replacing a few meat-based meals each week with at least half a cup of cooked legumes can reduce your risk of
developing diabetes,
cardiovascular disease,
bowel cancer and inflammation --
and help with weight management,
gut health and longevity.
Three times a legume
A powerhouse of goodness, lupins contain
three times more plant protein than quinoa,
three times more fibre than oats,
three times more antioxidants than berries,
three times more potassium than bananas --
and three times more iron than kale.
Most lupin species grow as herbaceous plants that can reach from 30cm to 1.5 metres
You can pickle or salt lupins, and eat them as a whole-bean snack.
They can also be milled into flour to make breads, biscuits, cakes and pasta.
If you use lupin flour, the legume’s high protein and fibre content reduces the carb content of baked goods.
Since lupin flour doesn’t need to be cooked, you can even add it to smoothies and stews to help with thickening.
Although lupins are gluten free, they contain proteins similar to peanuts and soy, so are best avoided if you’re allergic to these foods.

Tarwi Beans or Lupini Beans

There are only two beans, or legumes, that are actually indigenous to the Peruvian Andes.
One is called "pallar," which is in the lima bean family,
and the other is called "tarwi" in Quechua, "chocho" in Spanish, and "lupini" in English.
They are often used in cold salads, as the protein in ceviche, or as a porridge for a side dish. The first time I ever saw and tasted these little beans was when visiting a town called Yungay and buying some ceviche serrano, highland ceviche, made with these legumes instead of fish. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
Tarwi has been toted recently as yet another superfood from the Andes. It is indigenous to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. In Peru the most common areas where these plants flourish would be in valleys in higher altitudes.
One of those regions is where my grandparents originally come from called Ancash. It's not surprising, then, that first time I tried tarwi was in this region, in Yungay.
Tarwi bean plant
The tarwi plants produce beautiful purple flowers and large bean pods. When it is time to harvest, the stalks are cut down and left to dry, with the pods still attached. When shaking the dry plants, they rattle just like a musical instrument.
After drying, the beans are then removed from the pods and stored until they are ready to be prepared. The beans are, before processing, quite bitter because of the alkaloids contained in them. If not properly prepared not only will they continue to taste bitter but could also make you nauseous and weak.

NOTE:
Take dry tarwi beans and wash them. Add to pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Strain. In a bowl, add the tarwi and cover with water. https://www.kahloseyes.com/single-post/tarwi-chocho
