We’ll go loopy for lupin
Eurostar identified lupin, also known as lupini beans, as a key trend that manufacturers would want to capitalise on in 2018.
The beans are traditionally eaten as a pickled snack food, primarily in the Mediterranean basin and Latin America, and have been reported to lower blood pressure and improve insulin sensitivity.
Lupin has also been found to help with appetite control, making it appealing to consumers looking to eat less as part of a healthier diet.
