Do you know lupine?
These are the big yellow seeds that we eat as an aperitif.
These flower seeds are full of energy and health benefits.
It was my nutritionist who advised me to eat it regularly.
They have many unknown nutritional qualities.
It's true that since I've been using it, I feel better and I've lost weight because I'm less hungry than before.
Here are 5 benefits of lupine seeds that no one knows about . Watch:
Looking to avoid meat in your diet without having protein deficiencies?
Then opt for lupine seeds.
Why?
Because there is almost as much protein in these seeds as in 100g of meat.
That is 2 times more when in other legumes.
It's ideal if you're switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet .
Indeed, they contain vitamin B9 which stimulates red blood cells, thus avoiding the risk of anemia.
And even better:they contain enough protein to avoid losing muscle mass.
Lupine seeds have a low glycemic index and are low in calories.
This is why they are recommended as part of a diet to lose weight.
In addition, they are rich in fiber.
You can even eat the seeds like a dry fruit to fill a little peckish. It is a recognized fine cutter.
Or use lupine seed flour to cook rolls, pancakes or pasta.
In addition, this flour does not contain gluten or sugars.
Because they are low in sugar and fat, lupine seeds are recommended for people watching their cholesterol.
It is therefore easy to consume without risk.
Hot or cold, these seeds are very easy to accommodate.
Their high fiber content allows for better digestion , but above all it does not increase the blood sugar level.
Thanks to its low glycemic index, lupine can be eaten by diabetics.
It would also seem that these seeds help to regulate the level of glucose and insulin in the blood.
Finally, lupine seeds are recommended during pregnancy.
Eout simply because of their richness in vitamins, trace elements, nutrients, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus .
They also contain folate which stimulates cell development...which is rather beneficial for the foetus!
The preparation of these seeds is very simple.
These edible seeds can be eaten dry or roasted.
We put them in salads, in dishes or to nibble in case of cravings .
My favorite recipe is curry masala with lupine.
But they are often prepared in brine or soaked in water to remove the bitter taste.
It is also very easy to buy them at the supermarket (Auchan, Leclerc...) in the olive aisle...
...in an organic store (Biocoop) or on Amazon here.
You can even find them ground to make bread or pastry.
