I've never had to freeze them cause all my friends love them and trust me they are addicting when you start eating them theres no stopping but we use them for snacking always at holiday's as appetizer's never never goes on table as [part of a meal, think of them as peanuts you would not add them to your buffet right.<br />i hope this gives good info to someone for their first try.i can't image life without these little beans, yet almost forgot to say if they are a bit crunchy you give a little bite into bean and pinch the bean n the skin comes easily off.

I have been making these for a long time and about five years ago introduced a twist. I added dried fava beans as well. I boil the fava beans for five minutes, then add the luppini and boil both for twenty-five minutes. Cool, rinse, put into a container with water and add sea salt. I rinse and change the brime solution daily for about fourteen days. Eat the fava just like the luppini or remove the fava, place in a little olive oil and fresh garlic for a few hours on the counter and serve.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394312676214248679.post-49268090417758114822011-03-28T19:09:04.229-04:002011-03-28T19:09:04.229-04:00"I believe life is holy, and every moment pre..."I believe life is holy, and every moment precious, that is why we owe it to ourselves to eat healthy in order to go on enjoying the gift of life."<br /><br />Thank you for sharing such beautiful words.

Thanks for stopping by to share your comment...Rick,<br />Thanks for stopping by to share your comments! You've inspired me to find some more lupini beans to enjoy. Yummmm, garlic powder or fresh garlic makes everything even better! Your suggestion will make a great recipe to hand out when we are back to selling our garlic in August. <br />DianaDiana Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307130287236271985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394312676214248679.post-35971371669033401022011-01-17T16:33:42.246-05:002011-01-17T16:33:42.246-05:00I'm glad you discovered the joy of lupini bean...I'm glad you discovered the joy of lupini beans.I have been eating and enjoying them since my youth at my Italian Grandparents house.I still eat them today and prepare them the way my Father and Grandfather taught me.Boil them 90 minutes or so in salted water without soaking them first.Rinse them and the soak in very salty water for about 5-7 days till bitterness is gone.Make sure to rinse and add new salt to new cold water every day.This past Holiday season I added garlic powder to water for the last 2 days,Delectable !!

So now I'll begin this process, which I'm really glad you blogged about! (I was looking for something to do with beans and cabbage. I unwittingly grew 30 summer cabbages and they're ripening fast. No root cellaring for them.)<br /><br />Lynn10in10Diethttp://www.10in10diet.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394312676214248679.post-45022925941842963522009-03-23T09:49:00.000-04:002009-03-23T09:49:00.000-04:00The soaking over several days does take some plann...The soaking over several days does take some planning (and remembering!) but then you've got a healthful, delicious, low-cost dish that is also fun to eat.
