Why Tigernuts Are Good for You

Kunnu are a rich source of nourishment, and remain a significant source of food for both the poor and the wealthy throughout northwest Africa. They’re rich in minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus, as well as vitamins C and E. 

They’re a good source of oleic acid (a monounsaturated fat also found in olive oil, avocado and pork fat), and which is associated with increased HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

Tigernuts, also a member of the nutsedge family, are also traditionally used in folk medicine along with ginger and mints to treat upset stomachs, digestive issues and irritable bowels.

They are also a good source of prebiotics (that is food for the good beneficial bacteria in your gut!) like inulin and resistant starch.
