‘Altreier Kaffee’: Lupinus pilosus L. cultivated as coffee substitute in Northern Italy (Alto Adige/Südtirol)

Abstract: The continued cultivation of Lupinus pilosus L. as an endemic coffee substitute in the mountain village of Altrei, South Tyrol, located in the Val di Fiemme/Fleimstal valley ca. 24 km south of Bolzano/Bozen, since the middle of the nineteenth century is demonstrable. Former reports of cultivation of Lupinus cosentinii Guss. and L. varius auct., non L. for this purpose in Tyrol could refer to L. pilosus as well. The cultural history of the rare crop is summarized up to its recent revival.

“…Domestication has also been documented in other species like Eryngium caucasicum Trautv. (Khoshbakht et al 2007) and Lupinus pilosus L. (Heistinger and Pistrick 2007). Eryngium caucasicum in the Elburz Mountains (northern Iran) has been characterized to its use for vegetable purpose and Lupinus pilosus in northern Italy has also been domesticated as coffee substitute.…”

“…This trait is very useful as seeds may contain higher protein content (Samadia et al 2002). This kind of identification and characterization of sweet pod bearing genotypes of P. cineraria will be the base of advanced breeding programme of this species to develop varieties/cultivars of high commercial value (Heistinger and Pistrick 2007). Intraspecific variation in P. cineraria was documented by Arshad et al (2006) by morphological traits from Cholistan desert and Sharma et al (2010) by SPAR method from Thar Desert.…”

“…Similar kind of approaches was adopted in breeding programme of Lupinus spp. in northern Italy for coffee substitute (Heistinger and Pistrick 2007). The reason for higher average fruit setting of these accessions (14.9%) compared to naturally growing C. myxa population (2%) (Vashishtha et al 1985) may be due to the difference in agronomical practices and environmental conditions.…”

“…The fourth is the only representative from the 185 species of the "New World" group named L. mutabilis (Andean lupin, pearl lupin), called either tarwi or chocho bean, in regard to the tall species with long branches and the short plant growth type with few branches [10]. Three other lupins worth mentioning, although only of regional agricultural importance, are L. pilosus L., an Old World lupin used as a coffee substitute (Altreier Kaffee) in Northern Italy [11], L. nootkatensis D. ex S. (Nootka lupin), used for land reclamation [12][13][14] and L. polyphyllus Lindl. (Washington lupin), used as an ornamental in many European countries including Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.…”
