What is tigernut flour?

Tigernut flour comes from tigernuts, which are small, round root vegetables. They have a naturally sweet taste and hard, rough outer shell. In addition, tigernuts are rich in prebiotic fiber, making them beneficial for the gut. Tigernut flour is made from peeled tigernuts that have been ground into a fine flour. It is naturally gluten free, grain free, paleo and vegan friendly.

What's the best brand of tigernut flour?

As gluten and grain free baking has become more popular, more and more tigernut flours have become available. The two brands I recommend include: Anthony’s Organic Tigernut Flour Organic Gemini Tigernut Flour Both of these brands produce a high quality, finely ground, organic tigernut flour. I've had great success in baking with each of these products.
