Our last special of the month is our Certified Organic Whole Peeled Tiger Nuts.
This time around, we’ve got them in an 8oz size vs a 16oz size. They come to only $5.25 each when you get a 3-pack.
Tiger Nuts are loaded with nutrition and provide some pretty cool health benefits.
What’s crazy is that 100 grams of tiger nuts includes a whopping 3.5mg's of Iron, which is twice as much as red meat and fish. Furthermore, Tiger Nuts have 1.39mg's of Zinc, 35.36mg's of Magnesium, and 158.96mg's of phosphorus.
100 grams is about 3.5oz. A little bit less than half a bag in a nut milk will provide you all that nutrition including the 3.5mg of iron.
You can also eat them as a snack food, as I will share further below, but I just like to dump half a bag in the blender and make nut milk in order to get all of that nutrition in a very absorbable way.
Furthermore, clinical studies show that they contain a high load of antioxidants, they are a great source of fiber, they work as a prebiotic, they lower bad cholesterol, and they hold antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. At the study here, Tiger Nuts had bacteria-fighting effects on several dangerous human pathogens, including salmonella and E coli.
On top of that, many people around the world use the Tiger Nuts in order to make a nut milk with them, which supposedly has libido enhancing properties.
In Spain, they make a drink called Horchata De Chufa. Chufa is another name for Tiger Nuts. The drink is simply composed of Tiger Nut Milk, with the possible addition of a sweetener and lemon. You make Tiger Nut Milk in the same way that you would make any Nut Milk. You blend it in water and simply strain out the contents. Many people include dates as the sweetener in their Horchata De Chufa. Some say that the taste is even better than Almond Milk. Tiger Nuts do have a little sweet edge to it.
Here is a quick list of studies that show how Tiger Nuts could help with libido.
At the study here, in male rats "Tiger nut stimulated sexual motivation in both highly and moderately active rats, and improved sexual performance, indicated by increased intromission frequency and ratio. Serum testosterone levels increased significantly after tiger nut administration. Lastly, phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of quercetin, vitamin C, vitamin E, and mineral zinc in tiger nut."
You get all that in the Tiger Nut Milk!
At the study here, the rats showed significantly increased sexual behavior, hormone levels, and antioxidant activities. They concluded that it may help with erectile dysfunction and may be a good source of human nutrition.
Here are three more studies here, here, and here, supporting the idea that Tiger Nuts are helpful for sexual function.
As I stated earlier, some people also like to eat Tiger Nuts as a snack food. They have a natural sweetness to them, which makes them tasty. They are not actually part of the nut family. It's actually a tuber, and they are grown in the ground like a carrot or potato. Therefore, they are completely safe to eat for people with any sort of nut allergy.
You can eat them straight out of the bag, but they taste way better to me when they are soaked overnight. When they are soaked overnight, they become crunchy like a nut. If you eat them without soaking them first, they are more chewy like dried chewy coconut flesh.
When you soak them, they become all plumped up, and they have a nice moisture to them. However, they are somehow not wet, and have that really nice crunch at the same time. You can hear the crunch when you chew down on it. The soaked texture, which makes it crunchy, is perfect in granola, in trail mixes, or just to eat straight.
You simply soak a number of Tiger Nuts overnight, then drain that water. You can then put them in the refrigerator in a closed container.
They are not processed in any other way rather than being sun dried.
Whether you want to make a nut milk out of it, or eat them as a snack food, you may want to give Tiger Nuts a try.
