Sow now: the sweet lupine is a valuable source of protein from the garden. In cooked form, the seeds can be prepared like beans or chickpeas, for example as patties, in curries or in salads.
Lupine flour can also be found commercially, with which you can bake gluten-free bread or cakes. Do not grow edible lupins from your own seeds. The following sweet l upine varieties, named for their flower colors, are edible and suitable for growing in the garden: Blue or narrow-leaved lupin (Lupinus angustifolius), White lupina (LUPinus albus) and Yellow lupinus luteus.
