Why People Avoid Lupin
People may avoid lupin due to its high FODMAP content, which can cause digestive distress in individuals with IBS or other sensitivities. Additionally, lupin can trigger allergic reactions in some people, particularly those with peanut or soy allergies, due to cross-reactivity. It is important for those with allergies to exercise caution and consult ingredient lists carefully.
