Infinity Foods Organic Tiger Nuts - 250g
Infinity Foods Organic Blanched Tiger Nuts (also known as chufa nuts or earth almonds) are premium-quality, ancient root tubers sourced from 100% certified organic farms. Packaged in a 250g bag, these traditional treats are not actually tree nuts at all, making them an excellent allergen-free option for those with nut sensitivities. They undergo a gentle blanching process to remove their tough outer skins, revealing a smooth, creamy-white tuber that boasts a naturally sweet, intensely nutty flavor and a uniquely satisfying, dense crunch. Cultivated sustainably without synthetic chemical inputs, fertilizers, or pesticides, these raw tiger nuts serve as an incredibly versatile wholefood asset, highly celebrated within Paleo and allergen-conscious diets for providing a rich plant-based source of digestive prebiotic fiber, healthy fats, and plant protein.
Directions
Enjoy raw straight from the bag as a wholesome, sweet snack, or utilize them to add texture and nourishment to your daily meals. Because raw tiger nuts are naturally quite firm and fibrous, soaking them in water for 4 to 12 hours (or overnight) in the refrigerator will soften them beautifully, giving them a plump, juicy texture similar to fresh coconut. Roughly chop or grind the soaked tubers to scatter over morning porridge, overnight oats, breakfast cereals, or fruit yogurts. They are universally famous for making Horchata de Chufa—a traditional, creamy Spanish plant milk; simply blend soaked tiger nuts with fresh water, strain through a nut milk bag, and sweeten with a touch of cinnamon. The remaining pulp can be dried and used as a grain-free, fiber-rich baking flour for rustic cookies, muffins, and pancakes. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Keep the packaging tightly sealed or transfer the contents to an airtight container after opening to maintain maximum freshness and protect the tubers from ambient moisture.
