The #produceStore was out of #lucerne!
Something’s up if they can’t source lucerne!

Instead they delivered us huge bags of lucerne #chaff.

I’m wondering how to keep the stuff once opened. My feed storage tubs are full of cracked & crushed #lupins.

I fed the #alpacas & #sheep a mix of the chaff & lupins this morning.

Still not hot enough for Chaser the alpaca to start using the pool.

Elegant white and a touch of purple: Lupins blooming beautifully against the green lawns of Port Arthur.

Another fortnight & yet another load of #lucerne & bags of crushed #lupins has been ordered & paid for.

The lucerne bale price has dipped again (yay!), BUT, they’ve increased their delivery fee by 50%!

#EdibleLupins -- [PT tremoçoes] -- thread I've been threatening *. Yesterday, I ate the first meal based on this years harvest, and like last year's tiny test, they've given me such good day-after energy -- even soothed my iritable digestion and immune system -- that here I am writing this. It'll probably unfold over several days, lot of info.

Based on personal #growYourOwn , process-your-own, not commercial, as processed shop ones have given me bad enough gut-experiences to never want to repeat. #vegan / would-be-vegan growers note:

Lupin seed is extremely nutritious: all essential amino acids, 36% PROTEIN , 9% fat , B + other vitamins.
NIH.gov usa - 2 Sept 2022 quotes total seed oil content as 7.50 to 9.28%; analysis for unroasted ( bitter | sweet ) lupins respectively: oleic acid ω9 ( 42.65 | 50.87% ), linoleic acid ω6 (37.3 | 34.48%), linolenic acid ω3 ( 3.35 | 6.58%).

The seed I'm using is a traditional bitter variety, as opposed to a recently bred alkaloid-free strain. There are pro's and cons to each which I'll get to. #allotment -- even #balconyGarden, as upright, compact and attractive flowers, though not bred to be as showy as purely ornamental varieties. #lupins #legumes #nutrition
