What is Lupin?
Lupin is a type of legume that is cultivated for its seeds, which are rich in protein and fiber. It is commonly used in food products like flours, pastas, and snacks, particularly in Europe and Australia. Lupin can be a healthy addition to the diet for most people, but it is important to note that it can cause allergic reactions similar to those caused by other legumes such as peanuts and soy.
