Choose Lupine when you want a garnish with both texture and visual character.

Taste and appearance of Lupine
Lupine has a mild nutty taste with an umami note and a touch of sweetness. The firm, crisp texture gives a finished dish a fresh bite, making the greens useful when you want more than colour alone.
Light green to rose stems contrast with the green leaves. The leaves can have a propeller-like or slender, stick-like appearance, giving the harvested crop a distinctive outline. Use a small cluster to show off the stems and leaf shapes on a plate.
How to grow Lupine
Prepare a tray with a suitable growing medium before soaking your lupine seeds for microgreens. The recommended conditions are 15–20°C, moderate moisture and good air circulation. The suggested growing time is 10–12 days.
- Soak for 8 hours. Use cool, clean water, then drain before sowing.
- Sow evenly. Spread 230 g of seed across a 10 × 20-inch tray over a moistened growing medium.
- Cover for 3–5 days of blackout. Check the crop and moisture regularly during this stage.
- Move into light. After blackout, provide bright, indirect light for around 7 more days, watching the crop as it develops.
- Keep moisture moderate. Avoid overwatering and provide airflow around the crop. Excess humidity is a common growing challenge, so check moisture rather than adding water automatically.
- Harvest the young greens. Within the suggested 10–12-day growing period, assess their development and texture. Cut just above the growing medium using clean, sharp scissors or a knife.
- Refrigerate after harvest. Keep the greens chilled and use within 3–5 days for the freshest taste.
The crop needs attention to moisture and airflow. Cooler growing conditions within the suggested range and an evenly moistened medium help you manage the tray through blackout and the light stage.
How to use Lupine
Use lupine microgreens to bring a nutty umami note, crisp texture and contrasting stem colour to your meals. Add them close to serving time when you want to show their shape and freshness.
- Fine dining garnishes: arrange a small cluster to show the light green to rose stems and distinctive leaves.
- Salads and bowls: combine with other greens for variety in flavour, shape and texture.
- Sandwiches and wraps: add a fresh, crisp layer alongside your chosen filling.
- Soups and warm dishes: sprinkle over the finished dish just before serving.
- Smoothies: use as a green addition alongside the other ingredients in your recipe.
The mild flavour leaves room for the other ingredients. Try a few greens as a finishing detail or a larger handful in a mixed salad, according to the dish.
What are the nutritional benefits of Lupine
