Pat,

If you do a google search for lupinus albus or white lupin you'll find an
abundance of information on its uses and benefits. It is used for an animal
feed, a green manure, ground for flour, used for sprouts. It helps in
lowering cholesterol due to its sterol/strolin content.
I still have not located a source of certified organic, high germination
rate seed. Any help out there?

David
