What it is

Organic tigernut flour is made from dried, ground tigernuts, which are small root vegetables that grow underground. Tigernuts are not true nuts but tubers of the yellow nutsedge plant. The flour has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a fine texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic tigernut flour as a gluten-free and grain-free alternative to traditional flours in baked goods. Its mild sweetness and texture can add body and a subtle nutty flavor to products like cookies, cakes, and crackers.

Health notes

Organic tigernut flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and resistant starch, which may support gut health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Tigernuts are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. As a tuber, it is naturally gluten-free.
