Ready to get wild? Well + Good says that tiger nuts are a sweet root vegetable in the same family as the potato, and they make a great oatmeal topper. Bonus: They're not actually nuts, so they're safe to eat if you have nut allergies, according to Global News. The tiny, chickpea-shaped tiger nuts have a fig-like outer texture and a chewy center. If you don't prefer a chewy texture, the "nuts' are also available in a pre-peeled version. According to The Spruce Eats, they taste sweet like pecans and earthy like a Brazil nut or fig. It's something you need to taste test for yourself.
Heal With Food says that tiger nuts are not only fantastic oatmeal and salad toppers, but are a great addition to smoothies and trail mixes as well. Tiger nuts also have several health benefits in addition to tasting delicious. According to Well + Good, the tuber has prebiotic qualities. Registered Dietician Tracy Lockwood Beckerman says, "They serve as a prebiotic to the body, so they help to build a healthy, balanced and diverse microbiome in the gut." According to Real Simple, Tiger nuts also have anti-inflammatory properties and are high in fiber.
