In response to a nutritionist who dissed peas and claimed garbonzos had lower carb to protein ratios. Time to try some Lupin (Lupini) beans?
There is no free lunch. High-protein plant seeds must protect themselves against insects. Soy phytoestrogens interfere with insect growth. Alkaloids poison insects directly.
