Sliced tiger nut from organic and fair trade agriculture in partnership with Tigernuts
Its tapered shape makes it easier to consume tiger nuts and incorporate them into any preparation in your kitchen. Sliced tiger nuts can be eaten as is, as a snack to munch on like a dried fruit, or as a natural sweetener for your compotes and desserts. They can perfectly replace nuts and cereals in your pastries, mueslis, or pie crusts.
It makes an excellent raw tart crust (half date, half sliced tiger nut). You can sprinkle it on your morning porridge for a much more indulgent and healthy start to the day than with oats! You can also add it to your stews and soups to add sweetness and roundness !
🌾 This ancient tuber, also known as "tiger nut," has been valued for centuries for its nutritional and medicinal qualities. It is the fruit of the perennial rhizomatous herbaceous plant called "Chufa" (Cyperus esculentus). It was already popular in Ancient Egypt! Highly appreciated in sub-Saharan Africa and Spain, its uniquely sweet taste and crunchy, fleshy texture are reminiscent of hazelnuts or almonds.
Naturally gluten-free and free from peanuts, it offers an interesting solution for people who are allergic or intolerant.
It comes from fair trade in Niger in partnership with Tigernuts.

🌾 Its virtues:
• The tiger nut offers a delicious alternative for gluten-free diets, without grains, low-carb diets, or nut allergies. It is the perfect substitute for carbohydrates! Its strong satiating power and sweet taste will wonderfully satisfy small cravings without causing a spike in blood sugar levels.
• It is a better source of omega-9 than olive oil! It is also full of vitamins C, E, and antioxidants (rutin) that help fight free radicals, to the extent that the cosmetic industry is interested in it !
• Alkalizing, remineralizing, and energizing, tiger nut is richer in potassium than banana, making it a good regulator of blood pressure and a muscle protector. It also stimulates calcium absorption.
• It contains many amino acids, particularly arginine, which protects blood flow and combats cramps and headaches.
• Rich in insoluble fibers (33%, much more than oats, carrots, or dates), it nourishes the good bacteria in the body and reduces the risk of colon cancer. These fibers, its low glycemic index, and its content of vitamin B8 (biotin) are of great help in cases of diabetes or hypertension. They ensure the proper metabolism of carbohydrates and help reduce blood sugar levels after a rich meal.
• Tiger nut is recommended for intestinal disorders (flatulence, diarrhea, constipation) due to the digestive enzymes it contains (amylase, lipase, and catalase). These enzymes help break down food into nutrients and contribute to their proper intestinal absorption, thus preventing intestinal fermentations. It is also an antibacterial, particularly useful in the prevention of uterine fibroids.
• It is a "survival food": according to German biologist and chemist Walter Scharz, 30g of tiger nuts per day would be enough to meet our basic nutritional needs !
• Tiger nut is an aphrodisiac: its content of quercetin and zinc increases testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women, impacting energy levels and blood circulation as well as the quality of fluids.
