What tastes like a nut, looks like a tiger but is neither of those things? It is the antioxidant-rich, antibacterial tiger nuts (due to the stripes on their tubers and their hard shell), cultivated for its edible tubers.
MSD Tiger Nut Flour is a gluten-free flour made from tiger nuts, which are small tubers or root vegetables sourced and grown in Northern Nigeria. Despite their name, tiger nuts are not actually nuts but rather small, nutrient-rich root vegetables. They have been consumed for centuries and are known for their nutritional benefits. To make this product, we first cleaned, peeled, and then ground the raw tiger nuts into a fine powder. This flour has a smooth, tender, slightly sweet and nutty flavour, reminiscent of almonds or coconut.
When using MSD Tiger Nut Flour in recipes, it's important to note that its texture and properties may differ from wheat flour. It may require adjustments to the amount of liquid or other ingredients in recipes to achieve the desired consistency and texture.
