Forms: form: lupins

form: lupini
Etymology: From Middle English lupyne, lupine, from Old French lupin, from Latin lupīnus (“pertaining to the wolf”), because of the wolf-like “fang” within the blossom. It has also been linked to an assumed depletion of nutrients in the soil.
Senses: examples: text: Amongst the herbs to be administered when the charm was sung over him were a yew-berry, lupin, helenium, marsh mallow, dock, elder, wormwood and strawberry leaves.
ref: 1922, Eleanour Sinclair Rohde, The Old English Herbals, London: Longmans, Green and Co., page 16:

glosses: Any member of the genus Lupinus in the family Fabaceae.
examples: text: Lupins contain less than 3% starch (Evans, 1994), the main fermentable carbohydrate involved in rumen acidosis when cereal grains are fed to ruminants. For this reason lupins have generally been regarded as a completely safe feed for sheep and cattle, and required no gradual introduction (Rowe, 1995).
ref: 1998, Tam Garland, A. Catherine Barr, Toxic Plants and Other Natural Toxicants, CABI, →ISBN, page 143:
text: Lupins, although a bean, are similar to olives aesthetically, and are equally good with breakfast.

Then soak them again, changing the water every day for several weeks until the bitterness is gone.
