Power Super Foods Tigernut Flakes

Tigernut flakes are delicious as a base for homemade muesli and granola, as a grain free alternative to oats, sprinkled on yoghurt or smoothie bowls, in baked treats, added to soups or for a nutritious pop of flavour and texture in salads. They can also be pan roasted for sweet and savoury dishes or used for making tigernut milk or ice cream. This nutritious ingredient can also be used in smoothies and raw treats to boost digestive health.

Ancient African and Egyptian civilisations have used tigernuts for centuries, prizing these tubers for their healing and regenerative properties. Evidence suggests tigernuts were included in the human diet since the paleo era. They’re consumed across Africa, while the Spanish use tigernuts to make their favourite drink: horchata de chufa.
