I have just walked into work under the most extreme conditions. It actually feels as though my ears will never come back to life. Frozen to the bone I am. So although a frozen treat at this time would'nt be welcomed with open arms, I do love one or two when it gets a little toasty in summer.
In Fraunhofer Labs in Germany they have been working on a brilliant little morsel. Ice-cream that is made from flowers (and rainbows and sunshine). It has no dairy, gluten or animal fats and it’s cholesterol-free, says Fraunhofer and ice cream is now on sale at a German supermarket chain. Vegans rejoice!
"Lupinesse", as it is called is derived from the seeds of the blue sweet lupin now hailed as the "soyabean of the north".

Scientists tried to produce food products from lupin in the 1990s, but to no avail. The protein-rich seed of this particular lupin, plus a new production method developed at Fraunhofer Labs, has made this new ice cream possible. It comes in various flavours including Vanilla-Cherry, Strawberry-Mousse, Walnut Dream and Choco-Flake. However don't get your hopes up over thinking this is a low fat option, it has just as many beastly calories as normal dairy ice cream.
