What is organic tigernut flour?**
Organic tigernuts are not actually nuts, despite their name. Rather, they are the tiny, chickpea-sized, raisin-shaped tubers that are produced by the Cyperus esculentus plant and are traditionally cultivated in the Mediterranean and North and West Africa. These edible tubers are meticulously harvested and then carefully peeled and ground into a light, creamy brown powder that has a slightly sweet and nutty taste. These tubers are also known by many other names, including "chufa," "nut grass," yellow nutsedge" or "earth almonds."
Completely free of nuts, grains and gluten, organic tigernut flour is the ideal option for people who are sensitive to particular foods or who would rather stay away from certain food substances such as gluten. Moreover, this starchy flour is also far healthier and more nutrient-dense than the majority of conventional all-purpose flours.
According to a study that was published in the journal Preventive Nutrition and Food Science, organic tigernut flour is loaded with antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. Moreover, according to a study that was published in the Heliyon Journal, organic tigernut flour also contains essential phytonutrients and phytochemicals that can support healthy digestive function and optimal overall health and well-being.
Here’s why organic tigernut flour is a true nutrient powerhouse!**
Due to its high prebiotic fiber content, tigernut flour can help maintain normal cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range and support a healthy digestive system.
Moreover, a quarter cup of tigernut flour can provide you with up to ten grams of fiber. Other than dietary fiber, tigernut flour is also a great source of antioxidants and heart-supporting nutrients as well as other plant compounds. These phytonutrients include iron, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, potassium, calcium, oleic acid and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as vitamins B6, C and E.
A true nutritional powerhouse, tigernut flour is one of the best alternatives to common all-purpose and wheat flours because:
- It contains more dietary fiber than oat bran and chia seeds
- It contains more dietary fiber than wheat flour and almond flour
- It contains more potassium than wheat flour, almond flour and coconut flour
- It contains more iron than wheat flour and almond flour
- It contains more magnesium than wheat flour, almond flour and coconut flour
- It contains as much iron as coconut flour
- It contains as much protein as whole wheat and almond flour
