Carrington FarmsGround Lupin Bean, Garlic & Herb, 7oz.

Made this to have with chicken and crab. I added butter after I set it sit and soften. Very happy with the texture. I plan to buy the plain a make a breakfast sweet grits/cream of wheat/oatmeal dish.

So I have been eating low carb off and on for the last several years, and I recently started doing the Keto style diet. In my quest for tasty low carb baking, I bought a fantastic low carb baking book and some of the recipes called for Lupin flour. Hmm, never heard of it but was intrigued so I popped onto Amazon to check into this mystery food I had never heard of. While hunting around, I came across this ground lupin bean and with all the great reviews I decided to give it a try. It's stats are amazing, consisting of almost all fiber, and getting enough fiber is so important when on a low carb diet. But more than that, this bean has 1 net carb for a huge serving, and is low fat as well.I finally received this in the mail last week, and I could hardly wait for dinner time to arrive so I could try it out. 4 tbsp, 1/2 cup of water and 3 minutes and OMG, this stuff is SO GOOD! It's like cous cous elevated! The feel of it is exactly like cous cous, it has the same consistency and feel in your mouth, only it tastes better than cous cous. It has a very light flavor with a bit of sweetness to it, but very subtle.I made this with 4 tbsp ground lupin, 1/2 cup water and microwaved that for 3 minutes. Then I added 1/2 tsp olive oil, squeezed the juice of 1/2 a lemon, added the rind of 1/2 the lemon, 1 tsp pine nuts, about 1 tsp fresh cut mint, 1/2 oz goat cheese crumbled, and a bit of salt and pepper and wow! This took 5 minutes total and was completely amazing.This is now my new favorite side to have with chicken, fish, etc. I can add healthy fat if needed to hit my macros for Keto, or if I'm close to my fat count for the day then I can skip it and just add a little lemon or just salt and pepper. And it has lots of protein too! For me, it's a perfect new food and I am in love with the texture and flavor of this simple side dish. I can't recommend this enough, it is fantastic!

This is the third time I've purchased Carrington Hills ground lupin. I prefer to buy it off Amazon Prime rather than going to the Carrington Hills website, where you have to purchase more in order to get free shipping. This stuff lasts a long time. Eat it instead of rice. It has no taste so it picks up the taste of whatever you cook it with. It's high in protein and much better for you than rice. It looks like couscous when its cooked. And it only takes 3 minutes in the microwave to cook it!

Quick-easy- high protein

After being on a keto lifestyle I missed the cheese grits my family enjoys, especially around the holidays.. Found a youtube video mentioning the ground lupin bean product .. purchased them and I love this product! Easy to prepare.. and I add butter,velvetta cheese, garlic powder, seasoned salt and a dash of hot sauce... Sometimes I bake them..mostly I just serve them hot and enjoy them with my dinner!! Will continue to purchase and enjoy (makes it easy to stay on the keto lifestyle for sure!!)

This was a new product for me. I used it as a side dish, but I can imagine many possibilities for these lupins. I sauteed onion in Ghee, added the lupins to boiling water and added cilantro & lime. Easy and quick.

This product was different from the size that I expected. It is very small. When I tried to return, they wouldn't let me. Check before you buy

Taste is great. High quality, my go to product.
