Black Tiger Nuts

The Tigernut (cyperus sculentus lativum) or ‘Chufa’ as it is known in Spanish, is not actually a nut, but a small tuber. It was first discovered 4000 years ago and comes in several sizes. Tigernuts have long been recognised for their health benefits, as they are high in fibre, proteins, and natural sugars. The Tigernut is a tuber that has been used for centuries in an important part of Africa.
