Tigernuts are small tubers, which made up 80% of the Paleo diet of our ancestors, around two million years ago. This ancient food comes from North Africa and the Mediterranean fringe. Tigernuts contain a very resistant starch, a prebiotic fiber that resists digestion and becomes fuel for our probiotic bacteria. About 28 g of this product contains 40% of the recommended daily fiber. Tigernuts are extraordinarily rich in nutrients, they have a pleasant nutty flavor, and if they are soaked overnight their flavor is reinforced, becoming more intense and ideal for preparing a rich horchata by incorporating coconut sugar or any other sweetener. It does not contain Gluten.
They contain as much iron as red meat, as much potassium as coconut water, they are a source of manganese, zinc, phosphorus and vitamins A and E.
