Lupinus mutabilis
Andean high-protein legume crop; seeds de-bittered and eaten; traditional protein food of Inca civilization.
Lupinus mutabilis, known as Andean lupin or tarwi, is a high-protein legume traditionally consumed in the Andes after de-bittering to remove toxic alkaloids. Modern research suggests potential benefits for glycemic control and cholesterol reduction, attributed to its protein, fiber, and isoflavone content. Key active compounds include sparteine and lupinine, which are responsible for toxicity in raw seeds.
The hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Lupinus mutabilis are primarily mediated by its high protein and fiber content, which slow gastric emptying and improve insulin sensitivity. Isoflavones may act as partial agonists at estrogen receptors and inhibit α-glucosidase, reducing postprandial glucose spikes. The alkaloids sparteine and lupinine are sodium channel blockers and can cause neuromuscular blockade and cardiac toxicity if not removed by proper processing.
