Lupin Beans (Turmos)

⏱️

"Lupin beans, known as turmos in Levantine cuisine, are a nutritious snack beloved across the Mediterranean. After a careful soaking and boiling process to remove their natural bitterness and toxins, they become sweet and addictive when sprinkled with sea salt. Enjoy them peeled for the perfect texture."

  1. Soak the lupin beans overnight, drain them the next day, and boil them for one hour. When done, discard the boiled water, then soak the beans again in cold water for several days, changing the water frequently, until the beans are sweet with no bitterness left. Sprinkle with some sea salt before consuming. Keep refrigerated.
