★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ 4.0 starsMeet the tiger nut - the superfood once cherished by our paleo ancestors is now available for your snacking pleasure! Despite the name, tiger nuts are not actually nuts, but small root vegetables. They are known for being an excellent source of resistant starch: a beneficial prebiotic fiber that helps burn fat and reduce hunger. Our Certified Organic peeled tiger nuts have a sweet, nutty flavor and no skin for a soft texture that makes them easier to chew. They are also non-GMO.
Tiger nuts are good sources of vital nutrients which can
provide amazing benefits to a woman in her pregnancy
stage as well as her unborn child.
Apart from solving problems like blood pressure, cancer,
obesity, diabetics, diarrhea, constipation and other
digestive issues
This nut contains high level of essential antioxidants,
vitamins and minerals like potassium, zinc, phosphorus,
calcium, vitamin E, C and B6, copper which help to
increase hormones responsible for fertility in women and
also keeps the baby healthier and stronger by increasing
the production of milk from the woman’s breast.
1) Help control blood sugar levels. Thanks to their rich source of resistant starch, tiger nuts may improve insulin sensitivity. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2005) examined the effects of dietary resistant starch on insulin sensitivity: the body’s ability to use the hormone insulin to reduce elevated blood glucose levels. Ten healthy participants received 30 grams of resistant starch per day for a period of four weeks. The results concluded that dietary resistant starch has the potential to improve insulin sensitivity.
2) Support weight loss goals. Trying to lose those extra pounds? Tiger nuts may be the belly-slimming superfood you’ve been seeking. The Journal of Nutrition (2012) published a study that evaluated the impact of resistant starch on the diets of overweight and obese men. The men received 15-30 grams of resistant starch per day, and by the end of the study they showed significant improvements in insulin sensitivity. Better insulin sensitivity can result in faster weight loss.
3) Improve digestive health. Take care of your gut just by snacking on some tiger nuts. Resistant starch comes to the rescue yet again when we’re talking about digestive health. The review journal Advances in Nutrition (2013) looked at studies examining the effects of resistant starch on gut bacterial metabolism and gut microbiota. Research shows that resistant starch can provide energy for the good bacteria in the gut. The studies reviewed also suggest that the interactions between gut microbiota and prebiotics, including resistant starches, may be able to prevent or correct human diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases.
