Lupini beans

Jerry said:

I just bought a can of Lupini beans. In nutrition facts it states for 1/2
cup
Carbohydrate 16g
Fibre 16g

Fitday didn't recognise Lupini beans so I'm just wondering if this is
correct and if it is what can you do with it. I cooked it for about 10
minutes and they are still a bit tough.

I'd stick with black soy beans...
Eden foods sells them both dry and in cans.
I've found the canned ones at Central Market.

The question to me is - They can't be 0 net really, so are the
listed numbers what happens when the fiber is pre-deducted
from carb counts like is common in Europe, or is the net
actually close to zero, or is the label basically a fantasy? I
bet if you do the arithmatic starting with the total calories per
serving the fiber has already been deducted from that 16.

I hope you cured them first. I've read uncured Lupins are poisonous.
Lupins can range in taste from bitter to sweet. If they are bitter
they are poisonous.

we used to get them in a jar and eat raw (pickled? not sure) I think you pop
them out of that thick skin and just eat them.
