Tigernuts / Imumu / Aki Hausa/ Aya or Ofio - 200g

A tiger nut is a small, tuberous root of the sedge plant (Cyperus esculentus), not actually a nut despite its name. It has a sweet, nutty flavor and a chewy texture. Tiger nuts are rich in fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. They are often eaten raw, dried, or roasted, and are also used to make horchata de chufa,  a traditional Spanish drink. In some African and Mediterranean cultures, tiger nuts are used in snacks, desserts, and as a natural sweetener. They are also known for their health benefits, including being a good source of prebiotics and promoting digestive health.
