Is the (sweet) lupine AW-compliant?

Lupi­ne and all the sub­sti­tu­te pro­ducts made from it are now almost as ubi­qui­tous as soy and soy products.

Lupi­ne as a cof­fee sub­sti­tu­te, lupi­ne in milk and meat sub­sti­tu­tes, in sea­so­nings, etc. – their area of appli­ca­ti­on is expan­ding more and more and the fact that it is adver­ti­sed as a regio­nal sub­sti­tu­te for soy makes it even more attrac­ti­ve for many.

It’s only under­stan­da­ble that you’­re incli­ned to use the ran­ge of pro­ducts when you’­re swit­ching to an anti-viral and anti­bac­te­ri­al diet. Espe­ci­al­ly becau­se soy is eliminated.

Is lupine a no-food? 

Lupi­ne is not included in the list of no-foods. Howe­ver, the­re are a few flakes and spreads made from lupi­ne beans on our favo­ri­te emer­gen­cy food author’s Ama­zon recom­men­da­ti­on page. So it does­n’t seem to be the worst.

Nevert­hel­ess, lupi­ne pro­ducts are hea­vi­ly pro­ces­sed and the cof­fee sub­sti­tu­te also requi­res a high level of processing.

In addi­ti­on, the lupi­ne was ori­gi­nal­ly not sui­ta­ble for con­sump­ti­on and was hea­vi­ly modi­fied and bred to make it edible.

The­r­e­fo­re, within the gui­de­lines of our favo­ri­te aut­hor, the lupi­ne is not to be con­side­red recom­men­ded unless it is an emergency.
