What is tigernut flour?

Tigernut flour is made from finely ground, peeled tigernuts. As confusing as it may be, tigernuts are not actually nuts, but small root vegetables. They are naturally sweet and nutty in flavor, perfect for baking! Check out my tigernut flour guide to learn more about tigernut flour and how it can be used in recipes.

Where can I buy tigernut flour?

I typically buy tigernut flour from Amazon, but some health food stores carry it as well. My favorite brand of tigernut flour is from Anthony's Organic .

Notes

*For best results, measure tigernut flour by weight. Also, tigernut flour has a tendency to clump, so sift it prior to using.

**I buy whole flax seed and grind them using a coffee grinder.
