Lupini: Conclusion

Success. When the husband likes it, then you know you've done well. I added a little (a little too much maybe) garlic powder one of the later soaking days to give it a little flavor. Now they are back in salty water to be snacked upon at will.

From what's available around the web, most people soak in fresh water for about 2 weeks. I found that salty water removed the bitter taste in half the time, which makes sense, as salt is used to draw out moisture, in things like salted meat or with cabbage to make coleslaw less drippy. As yet, I have no idea of the nutritional value, but it's a bean. Beans are good for you. Cost effective? Probably not. Time efficient? Nope. Exciting and new? Absolutely.
