A starchy superfood that can help you lose weight?
TigerNuts are not what you may think. And they can also help you lose weight.
They’re neither a nut nor an animal byproduct (sorry I had to). They are actually a tuber or tiny root vegetable. According to archaeologists, our earliest paleolithic ancestors relied heavily o
Tale has it that Egyptians not only cultivated TigerNuts, but Pharaohs’ tombs were filled with these “sacred roots.” Unfortunately, over the past few thousand years, we have lost touch with our roots … until now. And with their incredible nutrient-dense profile and unique flavor, you’ll wonder where they’ve been all these years!
TigerNuts are very high in prebiotic fiber, which is the preferred food of
our gut’s microflora. By nourishing the healthy bacteria, they strengthen the immune system, which is key to eliminating various causes of fatigue and diseases.
Surprisingly, TigerNuts contain as much potassium as coconut water and as much iron as red meat and spinach! Another more-than-cool perk from eating TigerNuts is that they are one of the only starches that can help you lose weight! Ever since The Kardashian sisters were caught with Organic Gemini TigerNut products on their countertops, people have been very interested about these new buzz-worthy superfoods from Organic Gemini.
Organic Gemini is a New York-based company that specializes in products made from TigerNuts. They make TigerNut Flour, TigerNut Oil, TigerNut Raw Snacks, TigerNut Smoothie Mix, TigerNut Granola, and even Horchata made from the tiny tuber! And word is spreading fast about their delicious offerings. They use only organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, paleo, and allergen-free ingredients and many of their snacks are either raw or cold-pressed to keep the enzymes and nutrients intact.
Organic Gemini TigerNut Horchata is a true treat and can be used as a milk-replacement or enjoyed by itself. They use no added sugar, but instead dates to sweeten it up just right. The Horchata comes in various flavors from Chai to Strawberry and from Coffee to Original, all of them, super yummy.
They also make a TigerNut Granola that is grain-free, gluten-free, raw and paleo. Flavors include Banana Cacao and Apple Cinnamon. What a treat for those who can’t typically eat granola.
The benefits of eating this superfood are undeniable. I’m just really glad to have connected with my roots! And to get even more experimental in the kitchen with TigerNuts.
