Chufa seeds, also known as tiger nuts, are actually small tubers that come from a plant called Cyperus esculentus. They have a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture. Often used in traditional Spanish horchata, these seeds are rich in fiber, healthy fats, and various nutrients, making them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals. In a 3-pound package, you get a generous supply that can be used in various culinary applications, whether for snacking, baking, or adding to smoothies. They can be eaten raw, soaked, or roasted, providing versatility in the kitchen. Plus, chufa seeds are a great option for those on gluten-free or nut-free diets.
