What makes tigernut milk special

Botanically, tigernuts are not nuts, but small tubers. This makes them an excellent alternative for anyone who is allergic to nuts or is simply looking for a delicious change from classic nut milk.

Their naturally slightly sweet taste is reminiscent of almonds and hazelnuts. For this reason, little or no additional sweetness is often necessary. 

Our peeled tigernuts are softer than unpeeled ones, high in fiber, and pleasant to digest. 

Important: When filtering, some of the fiber remains in the pulp. Therefore, do not throw this away, but reuse it in muesli, porridge, snack balls, or cake batter, for example.

Delicious variation: Chocolate tigernut milk

Simply blend in 1 to 2 tsp of PureRaw Carob Powder or Cocoa Powder.

Carob provides a mild, sweet, and slightly caramel note - ideal for an indulgent, completely nut-free tigernut milk.

Tip: Reuse tigernut pulp

After filtering, the tigernut pulp remains in the nut milk bag and it is far too good to throw away! You can use it to make our delicious Tigernut Snack Balls, for example. This way, you use the tigernuts completely and have a delicious snack ready alongside your homemade tigernut milk.

One preparation turns into two moments of enjoyment: creamy tigernut milk and juicy snack balls.
