For children. For change. For good.
Thank you or your interest in our Super Bean Guide. Like
us, were sure youll agree, beans are a vital ood source and
one o the worlds oldest cultivated crops with evidence o
cultivation going back more than 7,000 years. Beans are an
excellent source o nutrition, providing a great source o
protein, dietary bre and complex carbohydrates. Not to
mention ull o favour, very cheap and incredibly easy to
grow. What more could you ask or?
The World Vision Super BeanWorld Vision is an international childrens charity, working in
some o the worlds hardest places. Tragically, where poverty
exists, children are oten the ones who suer the most. Its
only with the help o generous people all across the world,
that World Vision is able to protect vulnerable children
rom exploitation, abuse and much more. Another way we
help improve the lives o children is by helping amilies
to have nutritious ood or more o the year. And this is
something that RHS gold medal winning garden designers
FlemonsWarlandDesign saw rsthand in Bolivia when
they discovered the super Tarwi bean.
John and Sim o FlemonsWarlandDesign saw
or themselves how child sponsorship changed
childrens lives, when they met 6-year-old Ronald,
the child they sponsor in Bolivia. Its here
that the Andean Lupin produces the highly
nutritious Tarwi bean, which World Vision is
helping amilies grow so that children have
a healthier diet.
They knew that, just like hope, this
beautiul fower grows in the
harshest conditions. They alsoknew it should play a part
in The World Vision show
garden at RHS Chelsea
Flower Show 2012.

To make them edible, the alkaloids must
be drawn out. First, wash the beans then
soak them in brine. Youll need to change
the brine oten - twice daily or up to
fve days - to make sure the alkaloids in
the beans have been leached out.
Ater soaking, Lupini beans can be
cooked in a variety o recipes or eaten as
a snack ood.
They can be eaten in their skin or, more
commonly, squeezed out o their jackets
like avas.
In the Mediterranean and Latin America
youll oten fnd pickled Lupini beans
served as a bar snack.
Accomplished Lupini eaters learn the
knack o splitting the skin by rubbing
the bean between their orefnger and
thumb to get at the tasty treat within.
When you eat the tasty Lupini bean,
spare a thought to how a variety o
this miraculous bean is helping to save
childhoods in some o the worlds
hardest places.
Bean Cooking!
The Lupini bean - is produced
ater the fower and is a great
source o tasty nutrition,
containing up to 46% protein.
But take care when cooking
and eating them as they
contain bitter alkaloids which
can be poisonous i the beans
are not treated properly!
ChildSponsorship
A child in bloom.Ronalds Story
Child sponsorship changed
everything or Ronald, his amily
and his entire community. Here,
hope was planted in the harshest
o places and was beginning to grow.
Ronalds parents were also given
the tools and skills to build their own
greenhouse, so they can grow nutritious
ood or all the amily. Ronald is also just
about to start school and embarks on a lie
with a real uture. Thanks to World Vision,
his hope is not only growing, it is fourishing.
Planting a seed, growing, nurturing and fourishing.
However you see it, sponsoring a child through World Vision or
just 75p a day can change a childs lie.
For children. For change. For good.
