The tigernut: A superfood with incredible properties

Cyperus esculentus

One of the earliest recorded farmed plants, there is evidence of its use in 6,000 years old tombs in Ancient Egypt. It was introduced into Spain by the Moors when they arrived there c. 700 A.D.

Farming:

Tigernuts require sandy soils with Mediterranean climate, reminiscent of that of the Spanish region of Valencia,  where the tigernuts find themselves at home. They are mechanically harvested, with an especially designed machine. Once harvested, they are washed and slowly dried in chambers built to that end over a period of three months, after which, the tigernuts are packed in henequen sacks to maintain them fresh and ventilated, resulting in a product of the highest quality for whatever purpose our customers require.
