Good Morning !

As I drive around the Tri -Counties I can’t help but notice all the Lupins on the side of the road and in fields .

Have you ever wondered if you can eat Lupins ? Lupins have been grown for consumption since the Egyptian times and were also grown by the Romans. They are also popular as a snack in South America and the Mediterranean. Most lupins are of the ‘bitter’ type that have a high concentration of a toxic alkaloid called ‘lupanine’.
