Tiger nuts, also known as earth almonds or chufa, are small, nutrient-rich tubers originating from Africa and commonly used in traditional Spanish, West African, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Packed with dietary fiber, vitamins E and C, magnesium, iron, and potassium, tiger nuts are a powerhouse of essential nutrients. These tubers are naturally gluten-free and offer plant-based energy, making them ideal for vegan, paleo, and allergy-sensitive diets. Their mild sweetness lends itself to being used in snacks, flours, and the popular Spanish drink horchata de chufa. Known for promoting digestive health due to their high fiber content, tiger nuts also support heart health and blood sugar regulation. While they are low in fat compared to nuts, their caloric density requires mindful consumption. With their rich taste and impressive nutritional profile, tiger nuts are a versatile and ancient superfood finding renewed popularity in modern diets worldwide.
