Bitter lupin (scientifically known as Lupinus albus or Lupinus mutabilis) refers to a type of high-protein legume characterized by a naturally high concentration of toxic quinolizidine alkaloids. Unlike "sweet" lupin varieties, these beans are extremely bitter and unsafe for direct consumption without extensive preparation to remove the toxins.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: Flat, oval-shaped seeds that are typically yellowish or off-white, similar in size to a lima bean.
- Taste Profile: An intense, bold bitterness in its raw state due to the presence of alkaloids.
- Nutritional Profile: Known as a "superfood," it is exceptionally rich in plant-based protein (up to 40–50%) and dietary fiber while being low in carbohydrates and starch.
