Even the traditional Mediterranean Lupins are very toxic unless you soak th=
em overnight and throw out the washings as I learned once by bitter (liter=
ally) experience. "Sweet lupins" are more recent lines bred to reduce the l=
evels of the toxic alkaloids.

Dear All, July 17, 2014
Having learned ~65 years ago that Lupin seeds were toxic (Edible Wild
Plants of North America) I was surprised to learn by accident today that
Lupin seeds have been used by humans in Mediterranean countries for
thousands of years.
Does anyone know if any of these 'sweet' Lupins can be grown here and
whether they readily cross with our other introduced Lupins ?
Yt, Dave Websterm Kentville
