Lupin Flour is uniquely high in protein (up to 40%) and dietary fiber (30%) low in fat (6%) and contains minimal starch; therefore, has very low glycemic index (GI). Lupin beans are a 'GMO free' alternative to soybeans.

Lupin enriched foods support*:

• Feeling full longer.
• Decrease in hunger between meals.
• Controlling blood sugar levels.
• Lupin flour inclusion into white bread significantly reduces the blood glucose response and the insulin response.
• Improving blood cholesterols.
• Lupin fiber acts as a soluble fiber and drops total cholesterol without affecting the HDL cholesterol. Lupin proteins have also been shown to beneficially modify serum lipid profiles by stimulating liver cells to take up and degrade LDL cholesterol.
• Lowering blood pressure.
• Lupins are one of the best natural sources of the amino acid - arginine, which is thought to improve blood vessel performance. Recent studies indicated that including lupin in the diet assists with hypertension.
• Prebiotics for improved bowel health.
• Lupin foods reduce transit time and act as a 'prebiotic'.
• Very high source of dietary fiber.
• Gluten free.

Lupin Flour (Lopino) - Average rating 4.5 (2 reviews)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews (1) (1) (0) (0) (0)   April 16, 2013 Reviewer: Michelle in Pennsylvania This flour is used by Butoni.wordpress.com for her very low carb bread, which by the way is unusually delicious and moist for a low carb bread. I've made it many times along with her Lupino cookies and its just wonderful.This is the perfect solution to anyone who is diabetic. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. April 08, 2013 Reviewer: Faye in California I love the low carb qualities and high protein of this flour. I've been experimenting with Choc. chip cookies. I found that 1 cup of lupin flour, 1/2 cup Oat fiber 500, and 1/2 cup wheat protein isolate (for a total of 2 cups) makes a good flour substitute. Beware that if you taste the batter before it's cooked the lupin flour gives it somewhat of a 'green' taste. It seems to mellow after baking. I've been making with tagatose (sugar sub). so have to bake at 300F instead of 350. My picky 5 year old loves the cookies! ...to me I like them best fully cooled...also tried adding 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder to the batter. I like them the most. Was this review helpful to you?
