T O P I C R E V I E WPlutoSurvivorHave you tried eating Tiger Nuts yet?I love them for their bit of sweetness and their chestnut-almond flavor. When you eat them raw you need to put aside a 15 minute chewing time alotment, no kidding! You can use them to replace chewing gum and really give your jaw a workout. These are tiny tubers, roots, and have many health benefits. Supposedly made up 80% of our paleo ancestors' diet. My curiosity got the best of me and I bought a bag of them at the health food store, packaged by Organic Gemini company. The salesperson said they grind them and use them in baking. I like chewing them raw and after a while it seems like you are chewing on twigs but I don't mind it. They are high in potassium and iron and contain no sodium. Let me know if you have used them in cooking. Thanks. Ami AnneNever heard of them!------------------ Want to Read Simple, Fun,Sexy Articles on Astrology?

Wall Mart is listed as a retailer of Tiger nuts packages - but I don't know if they are raw or peeled. If you want the fiber the raw is what you want. Also, here is a site that describes tiger nuts and its nutritional benefits. Very high in Vitamin C4. No recipes, but it says tiger nuts (chufa) are used to make horchata de chufa, popular starch drink in Spain. http://freetheanimal.com/2014/01/tigernuts-tuber-tubery.html Randall quote:Originally posted by PlutoSurvivor:No, Randall, they are not fuzzy RandallGood to know.PlutoSurvivorTiger nuts are way better than buffalo ballsBut I'm guessing...
