  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
