I don&#39;t know how much, but using a brine speeds up the process. I just noticed on a recent batch. And, the salt wasn&#39;t overbearing in the final bean.Davehttp://webercam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492055.post-59427098416683277262010-02-28T15:08:02.954-05:002010-02-28T15:08:02.954-05:00These are awesome! I&#39;ve grown up with them. I believe Whole Foods now have them in their bulk section. I purchase them on Arthur Ave in the Bronx at Teitel Bros. Does anyone have a serving size, calories, fat and fiber on these? I have only found nutritional info on the ones that are already prepared. Yes, the pricey ones. I paid $1.99 a lb. A dry cup of lupinis yielded me about 3 cups of cooked lupinis. Soaked overnight, boiled for 30 minutes It took two weeks to get them sweet. I changed he water twice a day. Used little salt.<br />Going back to make the rest of them. 2 more weeks! Can&#39;t wait!Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04083142976535062216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492055.post-55707862329077360302009-03-28T02:29:00.000-05:002009-03-28T02:29:00.000-05:00Hi, I live in Australia, and i love lupini beans, i first started earing them while living next to a portugese family in Sydney, after we moved i lost interest, but i just found a prepared jar in our supermarket, and i consumed the whole jar in an afternoon...Does anyone know if they are actually healthy? I had to rinse the water and put in fresh, but my portugese friends put some finely chopped garlic in the water, tastes devine, Lynne Lupini lover, from Aus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492055.post-56650821082899426222008-07-28T00:06:00.000-05:002008-07-28T00:06:00.000-05:00Hello Dave--Thanks for the Market in Revere. It just so happens I am going in that direction on Tues I will stop by &amp; check it out. By the way, after I rinse the beans several times in water to remove as much of salt that I can, I add half cider or white vinegar &amp; half water to jar. They really are much better that way--in my opinion. Tks again for info.

To decrease the salt in the brine, just rinse them with water a few times.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14363867140919109904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492055.post-62225570838323653232008-07-27T02:18:00.000-05:002008-07-27T02:18:00.000-05:00Hello Andrew--I was searching for a supplier of dry goods in Boston, MA, area when I found UR blog. I am an Italian American &amp; these lupini beans are very popular among us. Unfortunately, they R very expensive when U buy the Pastene version. I am trying 2 find a local dry goods supplier so that I can marrinate them myself in order 2 minimize the salt!!! Any suggestions???Carol Ann Littlepaulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06424684177508938844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492055.post-7180672938713408582008-02-29T19:48:00.000-05:002008-02-29T19:48:00.000-05:00Hey Andrew, These are tricky to find, but addictive when you start - and healthy. Next time, instead of hunting through 8 different places around Columbus, I'll just order online. <BR/><BR/>Next playgroup, I'll bring some along for you to try.Davehttp://webercam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492055.post-2888375259185370362008-02-29T10:06:00.000-05:002008-02-29T10:06:00.000-05:00Never heard of these before, but I do love me some beans, so their on my list!Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03286748406979546523noreply@blogger.com
