I have no idea whether or not farmers continued to use it after the trials. While I have seen lupin flour as a food ingredient,I am not aware of any lupins being grown for human consumption in Atlantic Canada. I understand that L. angustifolius is the species used to make lupin flour and that most of the production is in Australia.
