Tiger nut s an edible tuber,its also called earth almonds used for the preparation of a sweet, milk-like beverage.
It has several health benefits which include:

  1. Rich In Vitamins E And C :

    2.Protects Against Cardiovascular Disease:
    Vitamin E acts as a catchall reference for different fat-soluble compounds that are rich in antioxidant qualities. Since tiger nuts are
    rich in vitamin E , all these qualities are present in tiger nut milk and tiger nut flour.
    3.Cures Erectile Dysfunction:
    Here comes one of the major health benefits of tiger nuts. Tiger nuts are indirectly beneficial in improving the problem of erectile dysfunction (ED). Although there is no medical evidence to support this claim, natives of Ghana have been using this traditional medicine for decades in the form of palliative for treating ED.

    Milk derived from Tiger nut is a healthy option for those who cannot drink cow’s milk due to lactose intolerance. Tiger nut milk is free from lactose, and hence anyone can drink this milk, which is rich in calcium and supports bone building and growth in young children. This milk contains highest nutrition and fat content among all the other non-milk substitutes.
    6.Controls Diabetes:
    The high insoluble dietary fiber present in tiger nut flour regulates blood sugar levels and helps the diabetic patients remain healthy.
    7.Boosts ‘Good’ (HDL) Cholesterol:
    Tiger nuts contain a fair amount of oleic acid. Oleic acid is a MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acid) that helps increase your body’s HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) which is a good body cholesterol.
