Tiger Nut

What is Tiger Nut?

Tiger Nut, also known as Cyperus esculentus, is a small, wrinkled, tuberous root that has been consumed since ancient times. Despite its name, Tiger Nut is not a nut but a root vegetable, rich in fiber, healthy fats, and natural sugars. It is gaining rapid popularity globally due to its health benefits, especially among the health-conscious, vegan, and lactose-intolerant communities.
