Premium Tiger Nut Products to Nourish Your Appetite for Change
What is a tiger nut?
You've probably guessed there’s no tiger in it, but did you know that a tiger nut isn’t actually a nut at all? Also known as earth almonds, yellow nutsedge, and chufa nuts, tiger nuts are tubers of the Cyperus Esculentus plant. In nature, tubers are often the storage organ of nutrients for plants, and the tiger nut is no exception. High in fibre, essential nutrients, and minerals, the chufa nut is a delicious and nutritious superfood that’s gluten-free, nut-free, and rich in antioxidants. Tiger nuts can be enjoyed on their own as a snack or in the form of a creamy, nutty, and subtly sweet non-dairy tiger nut milk. At House of Tigernut, we want you to experience both the health benefits and delicious flavour of the tigernut in all its forms. Our fresh-pressed tiger nut drinks and snacks are made from fair-trade, sustainably sourced chufa nuts and the highest quality ingredients.

Tiger Nuts: An Ancient Favourite
Tiger nuts may be new to North Americans, but they’re one of the oldest cultivated plants of ancient Egypt—long consumed for their nutritional and medicinal value.
