Lupin coffee, 100g

Lupine fields have long graced Europe's landscape and culinary heritage. Sweet lupins have been cultivated and valued for their nutritious 'beans' and their ability to restore the soil. The inhabitants of the Alpine villages used the seeds of the lupin to make the traditional 'Altreier Kaffee' coffee, which warmed both everyday life and the festive table.
