Organic Tigernut Flour
Quay’s Tigernut flour is made from grinding the tubers that grow on the nutsedge plant.
Our Organic Tigernut Flour is a naturally sweet, nutrient rich flour made from ground tigernuts. Despite the name, tigernuts are small root vegetables, not tree nuts, making this flour suitable for nut free and gluten free baking.
With a mildly sweet flavor and fine texture, this flour works well in cookies, cakes, muffins, pancakes, waffles, and breads. It can be used on its own or blended with other flours for improved structure and flavor.
Made with organic tigernuts and no additives, this flour is a versatile pantry staple for grain free, paleo, and allergen friendly baking.

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.
