Organic Tiger Nuts (also known as Chufa Nuts or Earth Almonds) arenot actually nuts at all but are the tubers of the plants. Enjoy as a light & healthy snack. About Organic Tiger Nuts Tiger nuts (earth almonds or chufa) are not actually nuts but the dried tubers from a plant found in Africa and Spain. They are said to have been eaten by our ancestors as they are dense in nutrition and fibre. These are a perfect snack for the Paleo diet. They can be eaten as they are (or soaked if needed to soften them), or they can be made into a plant milk called horchata, which is popular in Spain. And of course, nut-free for those of you who have nut allergies and are looking for a dairy free milk alternative. They contain soluble fibres which will be retained in the tiger nut milk even after mixing with water and straining.
