LUPii // Loopy for Lupini Beans

Lupii (pronounced loopy) is a Lupini Bean based food company, unleashing the plant-powered protein we’ve all been searching for! With 3 times the amount of protein of quinoa, 3 times the amount of protein of eggs, 3 times the fiber of oats, and ALL 9 essential amino acids, this tiny bean is packing a serious nutritional punch. Not to mention, its also a super sustainable crop, compared to other plants out there.

Lupii began as a wildly simple and delicious, whole food, protein bar brand and just expanded into a variety of mouthwatering PASTAS, and the best part? Every Lupii product is non GMO, vegan, gluten free and soy free, so almost anyone and everyone can enjoy them, worry free! Bottom line, Lupii Lupini bean products are excellent for your body and even better for our planet and THAT is something I’m very excited about!

(It should be noted, as Lupini beans may not be not as well known as others- that they are apart of the Legume Family, just like peanuts. Additionally, Lupii products are made on shared equipment with peanuts and tree nuts. Sorry to my nut allergy friends, these foods may not be suitable for you.)
