Abstract

Lupine (lupin) species have a broad geographical distribution and have long been used for ornamental, agricultural, nutritional, and medical purposes. As with other legumes, lupine seeds are rich in fiber and protein and could be a beneficial addition to the human diet, although some varieties also contain varying degrees of toxic quinolizidine alkaloids. Recent studies show that lupine consumption is associated with favorable effects on diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension and could be a valuable food for individuals with those conditions.
