Sweet Lupin – Low Carb Meals and Snacks

Looking to cut carbs? You may think you need to eat bland meals, give up bread, and skip all treats. Fortunately, low-carb options such as Australian Sweet Lupin make it easier to reduce your carb intake while still enjoying delicious meals and snacks. Here, we’ll cover everything you need to know about this nutrient-rich, low-carb alternative and how to add it to your diet.

What Is Sweet Lupin?

Australian Sweet Lupin is a type of legume related to peanuts and soybeans. With Western Australia responsible for 85% of the entire world’s entire sweet lupin supply, these iconic Aussie legumes are one of Australia’s most important crops. But it’s no longer just Aussies who love these powerhouse legumes. Because of their wealth of nutrition and naturally low-carb content, Australian Sweet Lupin beans are quickly becoming a popular low-carb alternative across the globe.

Health Benefits of Australian Sweet Lupin

Along with their low carb content, Australian Sweet Lupin beans are:

• Low on the GI index
• An excellent source of plant-based protein
• High in fibre
• Low in anti-nutrients typically found in other legumes
• Packed with antioxidants

• Naturally gluten-free
• Certified Non-GMO

The vast array of nutrients, essential amino acids, and antioxidants in Australian Sweet Lupin can help support:

• Hair and skin health
• Decreased cravings
• Immune system health
• A healthy heart

How Our Sweet Lupin Can Help You Cut Carbs

Australian Sweet Lupin is wonderfully low in carbs compared to other popular grains and legumes, making it well-suited to low-carb diets. Whether you are aiming for a low-carb eating plan or simply hoping to reduce your overall carb intake, our lupin products can help. Replacing a portion of high-carb ingredients with lupin is a simple first step on your path to better health.

Low Carb for Weight Loss

Weight loss is a complex, personal process. Instead of eating less, some obesity experts recommend focusing on cutting carbohydrates rather than calorie counting. Those with pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes may also be placed on a low-carb diet plan. A recent study supports the idea that adjusting eating habits this way can positively impact diabetes remission. No time to research the best low-carb alternatives? The Lupin Co. has you covered with our selection of convenient, low-carb products made from lupin.
