Is lupine flour keto-friendly?
There are also alternatives to products that are full of gluten lactose or other substances that some people are allergic to. These products work well to replace ingredients in certain types of diets such as keto paleo or vegan. Lupine flour is a good example although many people are not yet familiar with this healthy option.
Lupin flour is gaining popularity among keto dieters. It is made from lupin/Lupini or Lupin beans a legume related to peanuts and has the benefit of being low in carbs and high in protein. A quarter cup of lupin flour contains about 75 calories 2g of fat 11g of fiber 12g of protein and only 1 net carb.
Native to the Mediterranean North Africa and Latin America lupin beans come from a small cone-shaped plant with purple-blue or yellow flowers. In these areas lupin bean-based diets are quite popular. The process of obtaining the flour begins with drying the beans and processing them into a finely ground powder: lupin flour. Think of all the things you can do with flour and you can essentially do the same with lupin: baking and pastry a thickener in soups and sauces and as breadcrumbs for frying. There are many uses but as with all flour substitutes you may have to experiment a bit.
