Unlike sweet lupin varieties, Ethiopian white lupin has a distinct bitter taste, making it increasingly popular as an alternative protein source for individuals with milk protein allergies. The seeds are not only a nutritious snack in Europe and North Africa but also rich in dietary fiber and essential nutrients.

It’s important to note that depending on the species and origin, lupin seeds can contain bitter quinolizidine alkaloids. Our Ethiopian white lupin is carefully sourced and processed to ensure quality and safety, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers and innovative culinary applications.
