What are Tiger Nuts? That was my question a few weeks ago as well before I received a sample bag of these tasty little gluten free snacks to review for you. I received a sample of Supreme Peeled Tiger Nuts. First off I should confess that they are actually not nuts at all, but rather a tuber that grows in the ground (much like a potato), chock full of nutrition, flavor and fiber to nourish you throughout the day.
These tubers are from Spain where they are grown in the ground and harvested by farmers, who then lay them out to dry in the sun before packaging them up and shipping to TigerNuts USA. They also seem to be popular in parts of Africa including Ghana and Nigeria.
My whole family liked these little snack nuts. My husband’s description is that they are like popcorn but with density. They have a slight chewiness to them which can satisfy that urge to chew that can often lead some of us to eat more than we need. They also have a slight sweetness to them but there is no sugar added. The nuts are gluten free, lactose free, organic, and suitable for vegans and diabetics.
These little “nuts” are quite small so there is a warning on the package not to give them to children under 6 years old. Some nutrition information for 1 serving of 20 nuts:
- Total fat 3.5 grams
- Sodium — 0 mg
- Total carbohydrate – 8 mg (so great snack for diabetics)
- Fiber – 3 g
- Natural sugars – 3 g
- Protein – 0 mg
- Calories – 282 calories
- Contains phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and Vitamin E
- The fatty acid profile is nearly identical to olive oil and their caloric profile is virtually the same as human breast milk.
So what are you waiting for? With a profile like that you can’t go wrong picking up a few bags of these tasty little snacks for when you are on the go. Go here to get more info and order for yourself.
