Aviate Lupini Flakes - 3 x 12 oz

I bought these to make hummus, and hummus I did make! WOW--game changer. It tastes like regular hummus. Not "good for a hummus", but like, no one would know it wasn't made with garbanzo beans. Texture, weight, overall flavor is the same. Or at least nearly so. I didnt follow a recipe-- just sort of winged it, and it all turned out well. It says to cook on stove, but I just poured kettle boiled water over about a half cup of these flakes, covered, and let sit for a bit. Then not sure whether to leave some water or not, I kept a little of the water and added the moistened flakes to my ninja single cup blender. It was looking like hummus! Then I added some delicious tahini , salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Blended again. Taste? WOW, I could not tell difference between using lupini and using garbanzo. Add other flavors if so desired. I had tried the flakes dry and wet, plain. They have an ever so gentle bitter taste-- in a good way. I found that this flavor would work great in making a hummus, and sure enough it worked well (I omitted my usual squeeze of lemon). Since I had kept a little of the water, my hummus was a little runny. Instead of adding more flakes, I decided to add my trusty low carb, high fiber flour called Slimovina (another game changer in my life). This instantly thickened it up (it is my go to for adding body to soups and stews, and for making thicker sauces and gravies-- adds loads of nutrients but nearly no carbs. Can also be consumed as a hot cereal, or added to oats, grits.). So while I didnt set out to use the Slimovina, it was such a good/perfect addition that it might be my go-to mix. Just be mindful that Slimovina and Lupini products have A LOT of fiber. Then I used these delicious (to me, some people find them bland)

I started adding these to my vegan keto cauliflower curry and they work well. They need to be soaked first, because they are quite bitter, but after soaking they work well. I also tried making an "oatmeal" substitute with coconut milk, allulose and cinnamon, however even with soaking ahead of time, the lupini flakes were too bitter. I'm still working out how best to use these as oats. Overall I'm very happy with them though; they fill for foods I can't eat.

Very interesting oatmeal alternative. After getting used to the taste and adding proper sugar and spices its very delicious especially if use like overnight oats

My doctor wants me to eat more beans in diet for fiber and cholesterol lowering abilities. However, I am not a bean person. So I bought these flakes. I love them as a hot cereal in morning. LOW calories, High fiber, high protein and low carbs. It is a perfect meal! I add cinnamon and stevia, some fruit and to off with my FLAV City Vanilla protein mixed with almond milk and it is Delicious! I am trying to lose some weight before a photo shoot in October. Going to eat this every morning for a month and I will be back to give you my update.

As someone with T1D/low carb dietary needs I'm always scouting for foods I can try out. I've been enjoying other lupini products and had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, there is still a bitter under taste with this product. Lupini beans are extremely bitter and need intensive processing to remove the bitterness. It still works well for dishes with a lot of spice/flavor - but as an oat or cereal substitute I found it unpalatable. Would buy again for savory dishes, but there are other more versatile lupini products out there.

I eat lupini beans ALL the time, I love them. The cooking instructions on this are NOT sufficient for these beans. They need to be soaked and cooked for much longer than 5 minutes. I couldn't digest these, they gave me awful heartburn (something I've maybe had two other times in my life). It's a good idea but don't recommend the product. Also, it honestly wasn't tasty. I've made lentil "oatmeal" before and lentils are way closer to the texture of oatmeal. Lupini beans are beans with a real bite and crunch, they don't translate in this context.

Aviator Lupin Flakes are delicious in an overnight keto “oatmeal” recipe.

For my virgin experience with lupini flakes, I chose to make super spicey vegetarian chile. To my surprise, it was fabulous. To a large variety of low carb colorful vegetables in the Dutch oven I added 2 cups of of lupini flakes with generous spices and diced tomatoes and simmered all until the lupini flakes were tender. This is some of the most healthy & delicious chile I have ever made. This month I will order the lupini flour and start experimenting with it as a coating for fish and chicken in the air fryer. This is truly a wonderful, low-carb alternative to higher carb grains & vegetables. It has an impressive nutrition profile.

This product is a whole foods that is only 1 ingredient. Super good for any lifestyle you follow its a way to get protein or nutrients in without overdoing the calories and the carbohydrates . I will continue to use this product in the future!

love it!

Un produit que j’aime beaucoup. j’ai acheté plusieurs sacs lors d’un gros spécial (3/20$) par contre je vois que maintenant le sac ils le vendent à presque 20$ (seulement un seul) donc, c’est certain que je n’achèterais plus à ce prix. Donc, pour cette raison je donne un 4 étoiles pour une évaluation totale. Du moins je donne un 5 étoiles pour le produit. Un 5 étoiles pour le produit et 2 étoiles pour le prix.

It’s a 3 to 1 ratio of water or broth to flakes. There really isn’t any discernible flavour. Add whatever spices you like to make it go with whatever cooking. Garlic, fried onion, chillies etc… I like Lebanese 7 spice, and curry powder or Tajin spice for Mexican. Just keep experimenting…you really can’t go wrong.

It is too fine to make a rice dish with other rice.
