Lupin Protein Power Bar mix with Cranberry & Coconut
Origin: Western Australia, Australia
Product Description: The base ingredient originates from The Lupin Co (TLC) Lupin flakes which are gently manufactured from Australian Sweet Lupin (ASL) seed (Lupinus Angustifolius). They are a Legume selected specifically for the low alkaloids (low bitterness/bean/green flavour). Approx 95% of all sweet lupin is grown in Australia and of this over 85% is grown in Western Australia (WA). Classic breeding comes from Mediterranean varieties which were introduced to WA during the early 1960’s. TLC lupins are harvested from the above-ground pods formed on the plant, cleaned and sized on farm, followed by careful removal of the outer husk (lupin hull) which is mainly hemi- cellulose fibre. Then follows a triple colour analysis to make sure only the beautiful golden lupin endosperm is included. A multiple dry, size reduction process then follows with the final step being to produce delicate and versatile flakes. The process is all done at a temperature not exceeding 36C, measured throughout the process by laser thermometers.
The Lupin Protein Power Bar mix with Cranberry & Coconut is an easy-to-use gluten-free premix for cooking approx. 25-30 generously sized bars. With lots of protein and dietary fibre and a lower GI, this is a product suited to the fast-moving consumer with a focus on natural protein for sustained energy. With the inclusion of only 3 additional ingredients, this is a great addition to any pantry for those moments when a quick 18-20 minute creation is super achievable.
