Hi Jane & All, July 18, 2014
In my view the best reference is still Edible Wild Plants of Eastern =
North America (Fernald, Kinsey & Rollins) 1943>1958. I have yet to find =
an error of fact in it; just one figure transposed involving Dulse & =
Laver on pp 403 & 404. It may be possible to buy used copies.
Most books about edible plants contain some rubbish. Even the N.S. =
Museum of Science added to the misinformation stream (Edible Wild Plants =
of Nova Scotia) and Alex Wilson (letter of July 6, 1978) saw no reason =
to even issue an errata because the booklet has "...gained wide =
acceptance...".
Yours truly, Dave Webste, Kentville

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Lupins
Hello David,
A low alkaloid variety of the White Lupin, Lupinus albus, was =
subjected to trials as a forage crop here in Atlantic Canada (Nfld; =
PEI?) a number of years ago (~1995 - 2005 perhaps). I have no idea =
whether or not farmers continued to use it after the trials.
While I have seen lupin flour as a food ingredient,I am not aware of =
any lupins being grown for human consumption in Atlantic Canada. I =
understand that L. angustifolius is the species used to make lupin flour =
and that most of the production is in Australia.
Cheers
Ron
