So, what is tigernut?

Tigernuts, also known as "chufa" or "earth almonds," are small root vegetables native to North Africa and the Mediterranean. Despite their name, tigernuts are not nuts at all, but rather a type of tuber that is both gluten-free and nut-free, making them an ideal ingredient for people with food allergies or sensitivities. With a sweet and nutty flavor, tigernuts can be enjoyed as a snack or used as a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. They are also a great source of fiber, iron, and potassium, making them a nutritious addition to any diet.
