Chocho Beans or lupini beans

Hello - I was curious if anyone had any Chocho Beans or lupini bean seeds they would be willing to let me have - I'd love to try these and I've had a hard time finding them for sale anywhere.

I'm not much of a seed saver myself so I've not got anything unusual to trade so I'd pay for postage or whatever you wanted in trade.

Thank you for that link - but did I miss it in the description? Are these the edible bean kind?

First you look up Lupini bean. Then you look up the Latin name. Lupini is Lupin.

then

Lupinus luteus

They call Lupini bean a sweet bean, but it still requires several soakings to make it safe. If you are of Mediterranean descendant or have peanut allergies be more careful.
