Our Australian business partners are long term family farmers who own and grow the hero ingredient Australian Sweet Lupins for our plant based high protein food product range

Australian Sweet Lupin is iconic to Western Australia where the vast majority of lupins are now produced and the Mediterranean style climate is absolutely perfect to cultivate this nutrient rich crop. In fact, Australia is responsible for around 85% of the world’s lupin crop? Over the last 60 years lupin has been subjected to natural plant breeding techniques in Western Australia resulting in a species (Lupinus angustifolius) which has negligible amounts of the bitter alkaloids found in other lupin varieties. This sweeter neutral tasting lupin bean no longer needs soaking in brine or cooking and can now be eaten raw and uncooked. Over the last 60 years Lupin varieties have been widely adopted and grown by Australian farmers for their regenerative agriculture qualities. They play an important role in the ecological and symbiotic soil balance of agriculture by fixing nitrogen to soils, creating a better environment for growth and significantly reducing chemical fertiliser use.
