Dried Lupini Beans - Classic Mediterranean Ingredient
- Extra Large Dried Beans
- Perfect for Snacking, Sides, Charcuterie Boards, Antipasti
- High in Fiber and Protein
- Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Kosher, Vegan
OliveNation Lupini Beans XL are extra large size, hearty ingredients that are a classic in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. These dehydrated beans are high in protein and fiber, have a distinctive taste, and will turn yellow when cooked. Dried lupini beans are frequently brined and served as part of antipasti for holidays and other festive occasions in Italy, and are a popular pub-style snack in countries like Portugal and Spain. These naturally gluten-free legumes can be enjoyed roasted, brined, or pickled for snacking, added to salads or soups, or blended into a creamy alternative to hummus. Dried lupini beans require careful preparation that can take several days, but their delicious taste is worth it, especially since they pack 13 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber into a single plant-based serving. These classic Mediterranean snacks are a beautiful and exotic addition to charcuterie boards or salad and topping bars.
Preparing Dried Lupini Beans:
Pick through Dried Lupini Beans and rinse well. Soak at least overnight in salted water. Rinse and place in a large pot and cover the beans with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, then reduce heat and simmer until the skins are smooth, approximately 3 hours. Drain and re-soak in salted cold water for 4-7 days until the taste is buttery and no longer bitter. Be sure to change the water daily (or twice each day) during re-soaking period. When beans are plump, smooth, and yellow-colored, with no bitter taste, they are ready to eat.

My new obsession
OK, I do have to admit, I was a little nervous buying these beans after seeing the previous review. BUT, I've been using other OliveNation products and never been disappointed before so I gave it a chance. I'm so happy I did! The beans are AMAZING! The rinsing process is painfully lengthy (took me over two weeks), but worth it in the end. I didn't have a problem with moldy beans, but I was storing them in the fridge the whole time during the rinsing process. I read that sometimes people store them on the counter, which might have caused the spoilage.

Moldy beans
I have been buying dried lupini beans for many years. This is my first and LAST time ordering from OliveNation. I think they have a storage problem. Sooooo many of the beans were moldy and had to be discarded. As I continue to rinse my lupini batch daily, I'm tossing out handfuls with every rinse. So disappointed. I have not had this problem with other companies that supply these beans.
