Hello David,

A low alkaloid variety of the White Lupin, Lupinus albus, was subjected =
to trials as a forage crop here in Atlantic Canada (Nfld; PEI?) a number =
of years ago (~1995 - 2005 perhaps). 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.

Cheers

Ron
