Tigernuts, also known as chufa nuts, earth almonds, or yellow nutsedge, are small, root vegetables that offer a naturally sweet and nutty flavor. Despite their name, they are not actually nuts, making them a safe and delicious option for those with nut allergies. These wrinkled, marble-sized tubers have a slightly chewy texture and a subtle earthy aroma. Tigernuts can be enjoyed raw, roasted, or ground into flour for gluten-free baking. They are also a popular ingredient in horchata, a refreshing plant-based milk beverage. Discover the unique taste and versatility of tigernuts in your culinary creations.

Store tigernuts in a cool, dry, and dark place to maintain their freshness. Whole, unpeeled tigernuts can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for several months. Tigernut flour should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent it from going rancid due to its higher oil content. Properly stored, tigernut flour can last for several months in the refrigerator and even longer in the freezer.
