Tigernut Flour FAQs
Is tigernut a nut?
TigerNuts are not nuts – they are actually tubers, small root vegetables
What can you make from tigernut flour?
Similar to how creative everyone has been getting with nuts, you can get very creative with tigernuts. You can get raw or slivered tigerntus by themselves to make things like tigernut granola, tigernut butter, or tigernut milk (which is delicious), or you can buy tigernut flour to make baked goods, which is our main focus here.
What does tigernut flour taste like?
Tigernut flour is similar to almond flour. It’s slightly nutty tasting and has a nutty texture.
Why use tigernut flour over coconut flour, almond flour or cassava flour?
here’s no definitive answer to this, because different baking flours are all different. No one flour is better than the other, it’s just personal preference.
However, the positives to tigernut flour are that it’s lower in hard to digest fiber like coconut flour, less starchy than cassava flour, and unlike almond flour, it’s actually nut free. As someone who works with a lot of people with gut issues, I find that they have less issues with tigernut flour than the other flours above. Of course everyone is different, but that’s generally what I see.
