Botanical name: Lupinus genus

Origin: Egypt

Lupin or lupini are the yellow legume seeds of the genus Lupinus.
They are traditionally eaten as a pickled snack food, primarily in the Mediterranean basin (L. albus), Latin America (L. mutabilis) and North Africa (L. angustifolius). The most ancient evidence of lupin is from ancient Egypt, dating back to the 22nd century BC.

History and distribution
The earliest archaeological reports on lupins are referred to the Twelfth Dynasty of Egyptian Pharaohs. In their tombs, seeds of Lupinus digitatus Forsk., already domesticated in those times, were discovered. Seven seeds of this species were also retrieved in the tombs of this dynasty dated back to the 22nd century BC. They are the most ancient evidence of lupin in the Mediterranean.

Lupin is commonly used in Egypt (known by the name "termes") and is eaten by the Egyptians as snack anytime as during the Sham Elnesim festival, which is a national festival in Egypt whose history goes back to ancient Egyptian times.

Lupini were used by the Romans, who spread their cultivation throughout the Roman Empire. Today, lupini are most commonly found in Mediterranean countries and their former colonies, especially in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Brazil, and across the Middle East.

The Andean American variety of this lupin, Lupinus mutabilis, was domesticated by pre-Incan inhabitants of present-day Peru. Rock imprints of seeds and leaves, dated around 6th and 7th century BC, are exhibited in the National Museum of Lima.
It was a food widespread during the Incan Empire. Lupins were also used by Native Americans in North America, e.g. the Yavapai people
