In the Lupin: Aussie firm saw huge spike in demand for immunity-boosting prebiotic products
Australia-based The Lupin Co had seen a five to six times increase in demand for products such as its prebiotic-rich lupin flakes, flours, protein bars and cereals earlier this year.
They are sold in over 800 independent health food stores in Australia and via the Redmart e-commerce platform in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
The firm also has a presence in UAE, Bahrain, UK, and US, where they mostly provide in bulk for food manufacturers in industries such as bakery.
According to David Fienberg, managing director at The Lupin Co, lupin contains about 38% dietary fibre, mostly soluble fibre and resistant starch, acting as a prebiotic.
