Despite sweet lupin, buck wheat and amaranth being nutritious and climate-smart crops, we eat them only rarely. Engineering students studying food technology at Lund University in Sweden have recently developed completely new experimental products in which those crops play a key role – and perhaps provide a clue to the range on offer in the food shops of the future. Each year a group of students o
