Description

Tiger nuts have been known for 4000 years, and are not actually a nut but a small tuber, which is high in fiber, proteins and natural sugars. 

Tiger nuts are rich in Vitamin E. Vitamin E actually is a catch-all reference to a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant qualities. Antioxidants help the body protect itself from free radicals, molecules that have an unshared electron. The unshared electron can react with oxygen to form reactive oxygen species, which are damaging to our bodies. Vitamin E protects us by inhibiting  the creation of these reactive oxygen species. Vitamin E combined with high levels of oleic acid, two components of tiger nuts, has also been shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
