Yellow Lupin
B tier
Yellow lupin names the market seed of L. luteus—yellow coats, compact size, and a role more in ingredient streams than classic Mediterranean pickle jars. When properly sweet or processed, it yields nutty protein flours and cooked purees. Cook thoroughly after any required debittering. Colour can tint blends slightly cream-yellow. Interchange with white lupin flour only after testing bitterness and absorption. Check allergen labelling the same as other lupins.
