The tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) has all kinds of special features. Although the plant belongs to the sour grasses, tigernuts naturally taste sweet and nutty. The grass forms small thickenings, about the size of an almond, on its rootstock. Thus, the tiger nut, also known as tiger almond or chufa, is not an almond at all. It is also not a nut, but a thickened root containing oil and starch. This also makes them exceptional, because plants usually only store oil in seeds and fruits.

Its root nodules were already known to the ancient Egyptians and were used in a variety of ways. Today the tiger nut is cultivated in the Mediterranean region, especially in Spain, Brazil, West Africa and East India.
