"TREMOÇOS" in English

I don't know but will ask my friends in the Brazilian community if they know -as they speak Portuguese,

In Portuguese the Lupini Beans are known as tremoços

Hi! Thanks! I'm not really sure even if there is any translation.

Hi Dave again

That's it-LUPINI BEANS! I knew it was something related to beans but not enough

Thanks a lot!

Take care,

Rachel

Hi Cristopher,

I just found them in a small off-licence on high street ken, near warick gardens bust stop, north side of the street (I think Iranian shop)

but I guess that you could find tremoços in any Portuguese food store in london..

good luck!

"White lupin", or "lupinus" will work.

For them to be eatable they need to be boiled and to be in brine for some days, as the raw seeds are poisonous.

Hi Rachel

It could be said that there isn't really an english word for them because they don't exist in our culture.

Having said that, I bought a 1 kg packet of "Lupin" seeds from an asian shop recently. I've been experimenting with their preparation...

The packet has something written in Arabic - which I can't understand - and elsewhere says they were packed in Lebano

Hi,

Tremocos, (as we all love them) are called lupini/lupin beans..

Time is coming to eat them and drink beer by the beach!! lol


Good luck!
