Wow, Okay I had never heard about Tigernuts before and I was previously in the culinary field for over 15 years. I do know how quickly people are realizing what we put into our bodies affects how we feel. I know, that sounds simple, but for so many years I had friends that would eat certain foods and just feel run down or with IB for a couple days afterwards. It only now that some are realizing that eliminating certain foods like foods containing Gluten can really perk certain bodies up.
Tigernuts are ~~~NOT NUTS AT ALL~~~ they are a part of the tubers family. So a similar family to potatoes or carrots or jicama. These are very fibrous and filling as a snack.
I got to try out a couple of offerings that the Tigernuts company carries. I received the Peeled Tigernuts Original Tigernuts and Tigernut flour. I first tried the
peeled tigernuts as they take the least amount of work to enjoy. My first thought was that it is like chewing a really fibrous piece of fresh coconut or a dry piece of jicama. I enjoyed the taste and was happy to snack on a small handful. My dad came over and I offered him some new tigernuts. He said sure and I put about 4 in his hand. He then proceeded to toss them all in his mouth and chew. WE DON'T recommend that. He figured out quickly that this is not a peanut or cashew. These tiny tigernuts are very very fiberous. They are made to be snacked on one at a time. Four of them are just too much at once. I asked him what he thought of the taste. He was not sure... I asked if it maybe tasted like coconut. He said yeah, maybe. I asked him if he would like to try another tigernut. He declined.

Next up was the organic Tigernuts. these have not been peeled of the majority of their skin. I tried one and the texture is very tough. The bag recommended that you soak them overnight. I thought that they might swell in size like dried beans do; they did not. I did find them to be refreshing after sitting overnight in cold water. I had the unfortunate opportunity to bite into a bad tigernut. That is a flavor you will not soon forget. Kinda like biting into a bad peanut. It does not keep you form ever eating another peanut. But you are definitely gunshy for a while. For me as a little snack I would recommend the peeled Tigernuts.
Tigernuts also makes a flour that you can use for baking. As I am not a baker I did try to add it to my panfried chicken. I did not notice any difference compared to normal but I did not get great browning. The website at www.tigernutsusa.com has some tasty recipes using the flour.

Well thank you for reading and have a great day!
I use specific facial cleansers so I wanted a good body soap. I received my soap quickly after ordering and was happy with the size. The scent is wonderful and natural smelling without being overpowering. But how it feels and works is is what you want to know. Okay, so I found this soap to be cleaning but not drying. I found this all natural soap to be nourishing to my skin. My also love that I have been using my soap bar and probably have another month remaining with this bar. The scent is still there and the soap is still as cleaning and nourishing as the first use. Sometimes you may use a soap and about halfway through the bar you notice little cracks and that it doesn't seem to be doing as much cleaning anymore. Well not with this soap! I can't wait to try out more scents and styles of soap.club The Goats milk citrus twist sounds great as it has natural ingredients that help fight acne(icluding body).
