White Lupin - Sweet lupine
In addition to its sumptuous white inflorescences, this leguminous plant has many assets, including delicious edible grains. It is also a good soil improver and its flowers attract pollinators.
Lupin seeds are rich in protein and omega 3, and are traditionally eaten as an aperitif.
Preparing lupin seeds:
- soak seeds in water at least overnight;
- rinse and cook for 60 min;
- drain well and cover with water and a little salt;
- place in the refrigerator for 24 h ;
- drain and renew brine;
- repeat this operation for 5 days;
- finally, store in an airtight container covered with brine.
Préparer soigneusement la surface à semer afin que le sol soit meuble et finement émietté en surface. Semer à 2 ou 3 cm de profondeur, tous les 10 à 15 cm en rangs espacés de 20 à 30 cm. Maintenir le sol humide, mais non détrempé, jusqu'à la levée des graines. Pour faciliter la levée, laisser tremper les graines 48h avant le semis.
