Whole tiger nuts from organic and fair trade farming in partnership with Tigernuts
Whole tiger nut is the tuber of the plant Cyperus esculentus, dried and kept in its original form. A naturally sweet taste reminiscent of hazelnut, a crunchy, fleshy texture. In practical terms, it is in this raw form that this tuber retains the most of its nutritional properties and keeps best.
🌾 This thousand-year-old tuber, also known as "tiger nut", has been appreciated for centuries for its taste and culinary qualities. It is the fruit of the perennial rhizomatous herbaceous plant called "Chufa" (Cyperus esculentus). People were already crazy about it in Ancient Egypt! Highly appreciated in sub-Saharan Africa and in Spain - where it gives the famous "horchata de chufa" -, its inimitable naturally sweet taste and its crunchy, fleshy texture are reminiscent of hazelnut or almond.
🌾 Here is how to use it every day: as a snack to crunch like a dried fruit, or as a natural sweetener for your compotes and desserts. Ground into flour, it perfectly replaces nuts and cereals in your pastries, porridges or tart bases. And then there is its flagship use: a homemade plant-based drink , extremely easy to make. Frankly, if you drink a plant milk from a carton, take a look at the label - you will certainly be surprised by the quantity of food used for one litre!
Biovie chose to import this whole organic tiger nut for these reasons of keeping quality and nutritional quality. It comes from Nigerien fair trade in partnership with Tigernuts.
Naturally gluten-free and free of peanuts, it is an interesting option for people with allergies or intolerances.

Sveiki,
Jei aš juos pasodinčiau ar jie sudygtų ir užaugtų?

„Biovie“ parduodami tigriniai riešutai yra maistinių medžiagų turtingi valgomieji šakniavaisiai. Jei juos pasodinsite tinkamomis sąlygomis (lengvoje, gerai drenuotoje dirvoje, saulėtoje vietoje), jie tikrai gali sudygti ir augti, nes klesti vidutinio klimato ir drėgnoje aplinkoje. Tačiau turite užtikrinti nuolatinę drėgmę ir vidutinę temperatūrą. Tigrinių riešutų auginimas yra šiek tiek keblus, tačiau tinkamomis sąlygomis galite gauti gausų derlių.

Hello,
you cannot germinate tiger nuts because it is a root. We actually deliver to many countries
What is the difference in eating tigernuts and tigernuts decortiqué. Do their uses differ for eating please?
do you speak of the difference between whole tigernuts and the tigernuts in pieces? The whole tigernuts can be eaten after soaking like almonds or used to make vegetable milk The tapered tigernuts are easier to use on a daily basis as a toping on yogurts, decorate cakes and can be consumed directly
