FAQ
Tigernuts are a tuber that comes from the root of the Cyperus esculentus plant (also called chufa, tiger nut, atadwe, yellow nutsedge, and earth almond). It grows wild in some parts, but it is mostly cultivated in western Africa and Spain.
The closest comparison of dried tigernut taste is chewy little coconuts. They produce a nice, sweet taste as you chew. Unpeeled tigernuts can be chewy to come people. We peel our tigernuts for best enjoyment. Another great trick is to soak them in water for an hour as that gives them a more fresh and crunchy texture.
Tigernuts are super versatile. You can eat them dried, soaked or fresh. You can also enjoy them in the different varieties of products we produce such as flour, sliced and milked. Visit our Recipes and inspirations page for more ideas on how you can enjoy tigernuts.
Our Tiger-Nuts are farmed organically in West Africa. However, we did not go through the organic certification process and therefore, we cannot label it as “organic”.
No. If they are enjoyed in the recommended portions, they can actually aid in weight control due to their natural fibre and healthy fats.
We are committed to developing ways of eliminating food waste. This means that we will develop products out of any remaining food items to ensure that nothing goes to waste. This will be in the form of food, Pet, or animal food products.
