Spicy World Lupini Beans Dry Large 2 Pound Bulk Bag (32oz) - High Protein Legume, Vegan, Authentic

Followed directions from a website and it did take time and patience. It was very easy to reconstitute the beans. Very bitter until day 10 and then , WOW! Delicious! Soaked them in salted water last three days of soaking. Drained the beans and just salted them. Also sprayed some with evoo and Pinch Spice Market popcorn seasoning. That is my favorite way to enjoy these beans. Reminds me of my childhood. Good value.

These beans take two weeks to soak out the alkaloids and they never really get soft. The taste is bland. Maybe you have creativity. I bought for the high protein but there are other options without all the labor.

I love lupini beans, but can't find them in general markets. I. So happy that Amazon carries these. The quality is top notch. Easy to prepare, and I'm never disappointed in the size or flavor.

Delicious to eat!

Great price

Not similar to other bean. I soaked and cooked as directed but we didn’t like them. I threw out the prepared and the dried beans remaining. I love trying new foods.

THE TOXIN WARNING IS IN VERY SMALL PRINT ON THE BAG AND DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHS OR DESCRIPTION.The product is not return eligible so I felt deceived by the seller. My concern was that a consumer can easily overlook the warning label and there are no safe preparation instructions given. This is a “You had better know what you are doing” kind of product. I complained directly to Amazon who did refund my purchase price. I also asked them to make corrections on the photos and the description. They told me to donate them if I wished, but needless to say, I did not choose to pass on the risk.Lupini beans cannot be prepared like other beans. If they are improperly prepared, they are toxic. Take this seriously. If you do not understand the process thoroughly, purchase commercially prepared beans in the desired form.

Heard great things and the benefits of eating lupini beans, so I wanted to try them. After this experience cooking them, I will not buy them again. First, it takes forever to soak them (to remove their inherent bitterness). I soaked these for 5 days, changing out the water twice a day. And I literally cooked them for 2 days (not continually). After the 5 day soak, I decided to finally cook them. Started with cold water, brought them up to a good simmer, and after about 5 hours, they started to get tender (keeping in mind it had already soaked for 5 days). I tasted it after the 5 hour cook time, and it was extremely bitter. I had read that this is common, and I'm also used to eating bitter greens and bittermelon as well, but this took the cake. So I decided to drain all the water, and started the cooking process again like I did the first time, bringing it up from cold water and cooking it out again, hoping to purge some of that bitterness out. I drained the water and added cold water to it, then decided to let it soak for several hours. I basically did this for about 2 days, repeating the cooking process and soaking process several times. Eventually, it finally got to a point where most of the bitterness was purged, but not completely, so I stopped cooking it further. The product resulted in a bean that was creamy, and still slightly bitter, but I don't think the benefits of eating this bean, and the labor I put into it is worth it.
