Ecoideas Organic Skinned Tigernuts - 227g

Tigernuts without skin are sweeter and easier to chew than our regular Whole Tigernuts, and still contain the same amount of beneficial fibre.

Tigernuts are small tubers, not actual nuts – an important fact for those with allergies. The ancient Egyptians knew that the fruit of Tigernuts’ grass (Cyperus Esculentes) was highly beneficial, both as medicine and nutrition. Its root tubers are distinguished by an unusually high proportion of fibre and a delicious taste.
