Spicy World Lupini Beans Dry Large 2 Pound Bulk Bag (32oz) - High Protein Legume, Vegan, Authentic

Yes, these are quite bitter. But the answer is to prepare them properly. Soak for 24 hrs. Then boil, w/ a change of water mid-boil, for 2.5 hours. Then start soaking. The trick is to change the water frequently, 3, 4, 5, 6 times a day. Even more; let them soak for an hour or 2 then change the water when you pass by the kitchen counter. The more you change the water, the faster the result. Also, make sure the water to bean ratio is high; that is, cover them with lots of water when you soak. Leave 3 or 4 " of water above the beans. Do all this, and you'll sweet beans in 4-5 days.

I knew these were bitter. I knew they had to be soaked to get the bitterness out. So I soaked them for five weeks. I changed the water at least once a day. Most days twice. I didn't miss a day. They got just a little bit better, so I decided to try a recipe. They were still so bitter I threw both pans out. I used half the bag the first time. Now I'm soaking the other half. They've been soaking for a week. And they are still bitter. I have no idea how long it's going to take, I'll just say it's the last bag of this brand I'll ever buy. They were, at best... a waste of half my money. Again, I knew they were going to be bitter. But the recipes only call for 10 days soaking. So these are ultra bitter. There is something wrong with them. Even after five weeks, they are so bitter Read the label. They are toxic. They don't make that clear enoubh.

I grew up eating lupini beans and could never make them myself until now. I do not really like the pickled jar ones from the store, so I was happy to finally make them at home. The trick is patience because they take time. For me, it took about 7 to 10 days of constant water changing before they were ready, but they were worth the wait. They came out plump, delicious, and fresh tasting. I also love that they are a healthy snack with a good dose of protein. Great purchase if you are willing to put in the prep time.

I almost didn’t buy these because of some of the reviews mentioning bitterness, but I’m glad I did. The preparation was very simple and the results were excellent. I soaked the lupini beans for 24 hours, then cooked them for about 2 hours. After that, I placed them in a jar with water, stored them in the refrigerator, and changed the water once a day. After 7 days, they were not bitter at all.. just delicious. The beans turned out fresh, tasty, and satisfying. They’re also a very healthy snack and one of the best values I’ve found for the price. I’ll definitely be buying them again.

Great price

It is so bitter, I cooked 4 or 5 times still bitter waisted my money. DO NOT BUY THIS I DONT RECOMEND IT AT ALL DO NOT BUY THIS I DONT RECOMEND IT AT ALL DO NOT BUY THIS I DONT RECOMEND IT AT ALL

I’ve seen a lot of baloney about how to prep these, with people thinking this is a 4 or 5 day task. It’s not. It’s two weeks. Read Brami’s instructions on how to do it. Get TWO 120 oz mason jars. After the 10 day process, they will completely fill one of those jars, and you can brine them for 3-5 days. They were large, buttery, and delicious. Very few bad beans in the bag. Thick skin (fiber) meaty kernel (protein) - they were a great canvas to paint a brine flavor on. If you don’t fully commit to the timeline, you will be unhappy. If you do, you won’t go back to store bought premade. The actual amount of work is trivial day to day.

Simple to grow. Directly sown in the garden. Everyone sprouted. Excellent buy.
