Product Description
Abstract
The leguminous
speciesLupinus
mutabilis(tarwi) is cultivated
traditionally in the Andes above 1,**0 m, from
Venezuela to Chile and
Argentina. The seeds are used for food, being among the most
important globally
with respect to protein
and oil content. However, the seeds need a processing before
consumption due to
antinutritional
substances which work in the plants’ chemical self-defense against
insects. The most
important of these
substances are the alcaloids sparteine, lupinine and lupanidin,
which actually are used to
control bugs and
gastrointestinal worm in domestic animals. Industrially, the flour
of tarwi is added with up
to *5% to bread-making,
improving the energy and protein value, as well as conservation of
the bread due
to retrogradation of
starch. Because of the high oil and protein content the crop is
considered to be the soybean
of the Andes. Added to
these qualities are easy preparation and low cost. A set of recipes
are given for dishes
and drinks involving
tarwi.
