NUMBER ONE whole tiger nut is a small dried tuber, also written tigernut. It can be snacked on after soaking in water, or turned into homemade tiger nut milk. 100 g bag.
What is the tiger nut?
The tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is a tuber, not a tree nut, despite the “nut” in its name. It is also called chufa in Spanish, the origin of Valencia's horchata. Its taste is mild and sweet, with notes of hazelnut and coconut.
How to use it?
- As is, as a snack, after soaking it in water for a few tens of minutes to a few hours to soften it: the dried tuber is naturally hard.
- Blended with water then strained, to prepare a plant-based drink (tiger nut milk, horchata).
- Ground into a gluten-free flour to enrich homemade cakes and desserts.
What to pair it with?
To put together an aperitif or snacking platter: PROFRUIT sweetened peanuts or PROFRUIT roasted salted almonds. More snacks and treats in the exotic snacks and treats collection.
