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.
Tigernuts cycle
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.
