LMassic Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Can I have Lupin flour. I understand Lupin is a legume but wondering if it’s a compliant legume like green beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHWhole30er Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I am a newbie, but my understanding is that only the legumes specifically set out as exceptions are permitted--I have not seen this one mentioned anywhere as being compliant.

I understand Lupin is a legume but wondering if it’s a compliant legume like green beans. I will ask HQ for confirmation but I'm almost positive that this is NOT like a green bean. The reason that green beans are okay is because the 'bean' part is miniscule and the majority of what you're eating is the pod which is not the problematic part. From my quick research, when ingesting the lupin or items made from lupin, it's the actual bean that is being used. I'll get an official answer but until then, I'd steer clear.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted September 15, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 15, 2022 From HQ: Lupin flour would not be permitted. It is made directly from the legume and not the pod. Lupin is from the same plant fam as peanuts and is vaguely related to soybean. Leave lupin flour out for your Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
