About Tiger nuts
Tiger nuts, also known as “earth almonds,” are small, tuberous root vegetables native to North Africa and the Mediterranean, often used in African, Spanish, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Despite their name, tiger nuts are not nuts but rather edible tubers with a sweet, nutty flavor and chewy texture. They are naturally rich in fiber, which promotes healthy digestion, making them a popular choice for improving gut health. Their high levels of resistant starch may help with blood sugar control and weight management. Tiger nuts also provide essential nutrients like magnesium, iron, and vitamin E, an antioxidant known to support skin health. They are low in calories, gluten-free, dairy-free, and a good alternative for those with food allergies or intolerances. However, their high fiber content may cause bloating or discomfort if consumed in excess. Tiger nuts can be eaten raw, roasted, soaked, or used to make dairy-free tiger nut milk.
