CYPERUS ESCULENTUS LATIVUM - CHUFA - TIGER NUT
The latin name for the product that Tigernuts Traders mainly
deals with is Cyperus Sculentus or Cyperus Esculentus. In Germany
its known as Tigernuss or Erdmandel and in France as Noix Tigre
or Souchet.
CHARACTERISTICS
The Tigernut (cyperus sculentus lativum) or Chufa as it is known
in Spanish, is not actually a nut, but a small tuber. It was
first discovered 4000 years ago and comes in several sizes.
Tigernuts have long been recognised for their health benefits, as
they are high in fibre, proteins, and natural sugars. The
Tigernut is a tuber that has been used for centuries in an
important part of Africa. The ancient Egyptians, one of the
greatest civilizations of antiquity, already used this food for
its magnificent healing and regenerative properties. Evidence of
how valuable Tigernuts were for the Egyptians is given by the
fact that Tigernuts were found in some sarcophagi, where it is
known that the Egyptians were buried with their most valuable
possessions. Since those times, or even before, different
civilizations have given the Tigernut a fundamental role in a
balanced and healthy diet.
Different studies have been conducted in Europe, where Tigernuts
arrived with the entry of the Arabs in the Iberian Peninsula to
remain and be cultivated in Valencia, guarantee the properties
and intrinsic nutrients in this unique tuber, the benefits
ranging from prevention of coronary heart disease (reduces bad
cholesterol) to the regulation of intestinal function (for its
high content of natural fibres).
The Tigernut has a rough, rounded shape and a certain earth-like
colour, since it is buried there until it is removed for
consumption. The plant has characteristic intense green leafs
that can be seen very often in some fields of African countries
and in some villages in the coastal Valencia.
TRADITIONAL USES
The traditional way of presenting Tigernuts has always been
through the Tigernuts milk or horchata, a sweet, delicious and
extremely popular drink in the Mediterranean coast.
Their other traditional use has been as a dried fruit or snack.
The sweet taste of Tigernuts makes them a great snack.
Although they are hard as a result of being dried after
harvesting, if soaked in water for about 4 hours they are
rehydrated and become soft and tasty again. Ready to enjoy them
anywhere! Our company can offer you Tigernuts any time of the
year in different shapes and sizes suitable for a use or another.
Our desire to offer innovative products of high quality led us to
invest constantly in R+D+I.
Fruit of this effort, which we at Tigernuts Traders consider as
necessary, is a range of new products: Tigernuts flour, which is
ideal for people with celiac disease, diabetics and for
confectionery in general. Tigernuts oil, which is a perfect
complement to prepare salads and cook with very few oil,
furthermore, as antioxidant it is excellent for natural
cosmetics. And Skinned Tigernuts, that are a revolution in the
world of this tuber, as it allows you to enjoy the tasty core of
the Tigernut.
In the future our product range will increase even more, since
our R+D+I keep on looking for new applications of the Tigernuts
in order to satisfy all your needs.

CULTIVATION
Tigernut cultivation requires sandy soil and a mild climate. As
such, the geography of Valencia, situated on the Mediterranean
coast of Spain, makes it the ideal location for producing the
highest quality Tigernuts.
TIGERNUTS CYCLE
HARVEST
During the months of December to March, the Tigernuts are
harvested. This is a very slow process, where everything is done
to not harm the tuber.
WASHING
Immediately after harvest, the Tigernuts are washed with water in
order to remove any sand and small stones.
DRYING
Once the Tigernuts have been cleaned, they are dried out in order
to preserve them. This is a natural process that requires 3
months. Temperature and humidity levels are carefully monitored
during this period. The Tigernuts are turned over every day to
ensure uniform drying.
SELECTION
Only the highest quality Tigernuts are selected for sale. Small
and damaged Tigernuts are removed by an automatic process before
packaging.
