Description
Organic Tiger Nuts have nothing to do with tigers and are not even nuts!
Organic Tiger Nuts are actually a small root vegetable grown and harvested like a potato. They are an ancient food which is nutrient dense and full of flavour. Because the process of growing is so easy, the traditional methods of growing, drying and sorting are still done in the same way. The ancient Egyptians hailed tiger nuts for their healing benefits and now their beliefs are backed by research.
Organic tiger nuts have an impressive nutritional profile, offering high levels of Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Vitamin E and Folate. The most popular way of enjoying them is making them into a sweet and tasty mylk.
