What is the richest natural source of combined protein and fibre in the world – and delicious? The answer will surprise - WA Sweet Lupins! Yesterday I met with Lupin Foods Australia, an innovative WA company producing high quality value added products from locally sourced lupins. Lupin Foods was recently awarded the highly prestigious Foods Industry Innovation Award by the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology and was also named Best New Environmentally Sustainable Initiative award and Best New Health Food or Beverage at the Gulfood Trade Show. Did you know – Research suggests lupins are one of the richest sources of combined protein and fibre in the world. South west WA is one of the world’s most productive grain growing regions, producing approximately 85 per cent of global lupin production. Australian Sweet Lupins are reported to suppress appetite, reduce Glycaemic load of carbohydrate foods, are low in fat, reduce blood pressure, improves glucose metabolism, improves bowel health, is a prebiotic and is a great source of essential amino acid. Go WA!
