Organic Tiger Nut Flour Raw 500g

Tiger nut flour is milled from dried tiger nuts (Cyperus esculentus) — a small tuber with a naturally sweet, nutty, slightly vanilla-like flavour. These certified organic raw fine tiger nut flour from Just Natural Organic are a prebiotic-rich, naturally sweet, grain-free and nut-free flour ideal for those avoiding grains, nuts, and gluten. Its natural sweetness means less added sugar is required in baked goods.

Exceptionally rich in resistant starch (prebiotic fibre for gut microbiome health), oleic acid (the heart-healthy fat also found in olive oil), Vitamin E, iron, potassium, and phosphorus. Naturally sweet, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free.

Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free. Available in 500g.

Use as a partial flour substitute in cakes, cookies, and muffins (replace 25–30%). Make the traditional Spanish drink horchata de chufa. Add to smoothies for a sweet, nutty flavour boost. Use in energy balls and no-bake desserts.

FAQs

Are tiger nuts actually nuts?
No — despite the name, tiger nuts are small tubers (underground root vegetables), not tree nuts. They are completely safe for those with nut allergies and are classed as a vegetable. The name comes from the tiger-striped markings on the tuber's surface.

What are resistant starches?
Resistant starch is a type of dietary fibre that resists digestion in the small intestine and is fermented by beneficial bacteria in the large intestine — acting as a prebiotic that feeds the gut microbiome. Tiger nuts are one of the richest plant sources of resistant starch available.

Is tiger nut flour gluten-free?
Yes — tiger nuts are a vegetable root. Tiger nut flour is naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and nut-free.
