What are tiger nuts?!


Question: I love them, though haven't seen them for years but have no idea of their origins? Help.

And for those who reply about tigers and their nether regions, not very original are you?

The Tiger nut is not really a nut but a small tuber first discovered some 4000 years ago. It has many other names like Zulu nut, yellow nutgrass, ground almond, edible rush and rush nut. In Spain it is very popular and is known as Chufa.The genus name Cyperus is from Cypeirus, the ancient Greek name for this genus. The species name esculentus is Latin and means edible.

Aw ! You spoil all my fun.

The edible tuber of the plant "Cyperus esculentus"
