WHAT ARE TIGER NUTS?

They grow mainly in the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. The main areas of cultivation include: Spain, Nigeria, Senegal, Guinea, and Cameroon
They get their name from the tiger-looking stripes on the tubers' exterior.
Obtained from a plant called "Yellow Nutsedge" (Cyperus esculentus), these marble-sized tubers are chewy, and taste a little like almond and coconut.
Tiger nut tubers are also processed into milk. These nuts are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.
