Bumble Bee In Love With Lupine

 

Few things about Lupines

(some of them are toxic, specially the seeds)

but ...

The lupine is one of the few plants capable of fixing nitrogen from the air.

Due to the many hybrids and varieties, lupines can be found in almost all colours.

Lupins make the soil more nutritious and therefore enhance biodiversity.

Lupine flour is made from non-toxic varieties of lupine. This is used for many meat substitutes.

Lupine flour is on the rise. This is because lupine as a meat substitute is more sustainable than, for example, soy that has to be shipped from abroad.

Due to the rapid growth of lupins, weeds will not stand a chance.

Edible lupins are good for intestinal health and contain a lot of fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins.

Lupine is described as the perfect plant for the future! (From a human perspective ofcourse)

 

Amen
