NOTES 

1. Time-Saving Tip: Lupini beans are highly nutritious but preparing them from dried beans can take several days because they require repeated soaking and rinsing to reduce their natural bitterness. Using pre-cooked lupini beans allows you to enjoy their protein- and fiber-rich benefits without the lengthy preparation time.
