Hey Everyone!
We’ve got our Tiger
Nuts on special through the end of the month.
What’s crazy is that 100 grams of tiger nuts includes a whopping 2.5mg of Iron, which is the same as red meat. Furthermore, Tiger Nuts have 1.4 mg of Zinc, 36 mg of Magnesium, and 159mg of phosphorus.
100 grams is about 3.5oz of Tiger Nuts. That is a little bit less than half of an 8oz bag, which is on special for only $5.95 each when
you get a 3-pack.
The best way to get this nutrition is by making Tiger Nut Milk. You can dump half a bag in the blender, and make a nut milk in order to get all of that nutrition in a very absorbable way, which includes more than 2.5mg of iron.
On top of that, many people in Africa, Spain, and the Middle East make a special Tiger Nut milk drink, which is traditionally used in these cultures as a natural
aphrodisiac. If you go on YouTube, you will see many videos on this. People in Nigeria have used tiger nuts for generations to address low libido, erectile dysfunction, and stamina. They’re consumed by both sexes for increasing vitality, which could extend to sexual desire.
If we look at it from a nutrient profile standpoint, which includes zinc, vitamin E, magnesium, and arginine, these compounds play roles in sexual health for both men
and women. Zinc supports testosterone production, vitamin E aids circulation, magnesium helps with energy and hormone balance, and arginine boosts nitric oxide levels, which can improve blood flow, a key factor in sexual function. For men, arginine improves blood flow, which can aid erectile function. For women, arginine’s role in boosting nitric oxide and blood flow could enhance arousal by improving circulation to sexual tissues.
While there aren't any human studies on
these libido enhancing properties quite yet, there are a grip load of animal studies backing this up here below.
For instance, at the study here, male rats found that tiger nut supplementation over 30 days significantly increased testosterone levels, stimulated sexual activity, and mating frequency compared
to the control group. Furthermore, a phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of quercetin, vitamin C, vitamin E, and mineral zinc in the tiger nuts.
You get all those nutrients in the Tiger Nut Milk!
At the study here, Tiger Nut supplementation in rats with erectile dysfunction boosted nitric oxide and
enzyme activity, aiding sexual performance, indicating a potential positive impact on erectile health.
At the study here, in rats with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), tiger nut meal cut PSA, improved organ weight, sperm quality, and histology, hinting at libido benefits. At the study here, Tiger Nuts in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) rats enhanced sex hormones levels, sperm cell quality, and motility, suggesting potential benefits for libido and reproductive health in this condition. It also fixed sperm abnormalities like twisted tails, restored morphology, and boosted motility and normal sperm count, enhancing fertility.
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. At the study here, Tiger nut extract significantly increased libido and sperm count in rats. At the study here, Tiger Nut diet in rats improved erectile function markers, suggesting that tiger nuts may enhance libido and support sexual health. Lastly, at
the study here, Tiger nuts aided sperm count and testicular health in alcohol-exposed rats, suggesting protective effects that might indirectly support libido.
When I say a grip load of studies, I mean a grip load.
Anyhow, this traditional Tiger Nut Milk used amongst these cultures for enhancing
libido is 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 other Nut Milk. You blend it in water and simply strain out the contents in a nut milk bag. 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.
Other 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.
It you don't want to make a nut milk out of them, some people like to eat the 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.
We've got 8oz of
Tiger Nuts on special for only $5.95 each when you get a 3-pack.
