Ground tiger nuts | 1 kg

Taste like nut but it isn't- the small tiger nut is originally part of the gras family. They grow on the roots of cyprus grass and form little pea size balls, which are brown and striped in colour. That's why they are called tiger nuts. 

As Tiger nuts don’t belong nor to nuts or neither to edible nuts, they are also suitable for nut allergy sufferers. Besides, they are naturally free of gluten. With their natural sweetness and almond like taste they are very popular in Spain. They are called "Chufas" and the spanish people love to make milk out of them. You are free to do the same with out tiger nuts and decide about the amount of sugar you want to put in. As a replacement for grains and nuts they are perfect for baking cake and bread or as a binding agent for sauces and soups. You have to consider though, that tiger nuts are not to be used on a 1:1 ratio with normal flour. To create better baking properties you can mix them with buckwheat flour. 

As tasty as they are, they also provide lots of unsatured fatty acids and fibre. If you add them to your porridge or cereals in the morning, tiger nuts will give you the right kick.
