Did you know Lupins have actually been around for thousands of years! Consumed throughout the Mediterranean region and the Andean mountains, lupins were eaten by the early Egyptian and pre-Incan people and were known to be a super healthy food and contribute to the fertility of soils.
During the 1960’s a very clever man named Dr John Gladstone from the University of Western Australia, developed one of the first commercial lupin varieties especially for the Western Australian environment.
This breakthrough changed the agricultural landscape in Western Australia by improving largely infertile sandy soils to be farmed in a highly sustainable way. Our Lupin produces loads of organic nitrogen as a natural fertiliser, reducing the need for nitrogen made from Natural Gas. With a deep tap root, Lupin improves the carbon capture capacity into our ancient Australian soils and is a genuine sustainably produced plant protein.
This is why Lupin is one of Australia’s most important crops. Western Australia now grows 85% of the entire world’s entire sweet lupin supply, making them a truly iconic Aussie legume!
Changing the world one Lupin at a time
We’re all about honest nutrition that makes a big difference. The Lupin Co way is all about giving back to communities, healthy bodies and tantalising tastebuds.
We never compromise on quality or integrity and work inside High Quality Certifications to make the best Lupin products available!
Good for the Earth
We all agree that the ‘sustainable’ word gets thrown around a bit but ingredients made from Lupin including Flakes, Flour, Lupi-Cous and Dal are seriously good for the environment. Like chickpeas and lentils, as a legume – Lupin acts as a natural fertiliser, introducing nitrogen to the soil, reduces the need for chemical fertilisers and captures a heap of Carbon.

As a family-grown Aussie company, we’re passionate about making seriously good, nutritious Lupin Co ingredients and food.
