Lupine is known as a fodder plant for the fact that it is used as a green fertilizer as well, but the lupine seeds have a more limited use because they contain alkaloids. Thus, they are used in animal feed only after removing the bitter taste, through different procedures. The "sweet" forms can be used without presenting a risk, in feeding animals, as concentrated fodder, green meal, etc. Sweet lupine grains can also be consumed by humans, in the form of flour (to prepare various bakery products), as boiled or fried grains or to obtain oil, protein, etc.
