What it is
Tigernuts are small, starchy tubers that grow on the *Cyperus esculentus* plant. Organic ground tigernut flour is made by drying and grinding these tubers. It has a naturally sweet, nutty flavor and a slightly gritty texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use tigernut flour as a gluten-free and grain-free alternative to traditional flours in baked goods, snacks, and cereals. Its natural sweetness can reduce the need for added sugars, and its fiber content can improve texture.
Health notes
Tigernut flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of resistant starch, a type of fiber that may support gut health. International bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated tigernut flour, but its components are considered safe. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intakes.
Allergen info
Tigernuts are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They are also naturally gluten-free.
