Tiger Nuts
About Na'vi Tiger Nuts
Not a nut, but the tuberous root of a wild grass, and only related to tigers through the mild stripes on their outer skins, these golden nuggets are incredibly versatile, tasty and nutritious. There’s evidence tiger nuts were the staple food of the ‘nutcracker man’ who existed 1.2 million years ago. They have a sweet, slightly toasted, nutty taste which makes them amazing for sugar-free baking, raw unsweetened ‘nut milk’ and healthy snacking.
Ayurvedic medicine uses tiger nuts to treat flatulence, diarrhea, dysentery, debility and indigestion. Rich in an abundance of vitamins and minerals, and with tigernut milk having an almost identical macro-nutrient ratio to human breast milk, they are extremely nourishing and satisfying.
Recommended for diabetics, and a raw source of resistant starch, these little nuggets, whether whole, peeled or milled into our fine flour are as nutritious as they are delicious.
