Tigernuts are small tubers, not actual nuts – an important fact for
those with allergies. The ancient Egyptians knew that the fruit of
Tigernuts’ grass (Cyperus Esculentes) was highly beneficial, both as
medicine and nutrition. Its root tubers are distinguished by an
unusually high proportion of fibre and a delicious taste.
Enjoy as a snack or with healthy food! Usually eaten raw, mixed in muesli, yogurt, or as a nut substitute. Beneficial when mixed with baby and children’s food for healthy growth. Powdered form can be blended into morning smoothies. 2 tsp recommended daily for full advantage of benefits.

I really like ground tiger nut. Way better than eating whole tiger nut which I can't chew through. It has a nice nutty texture and flavor, and perfect in sweetness. Eating a tsp of this on its own would help curb your need to eat a cookie. I've been adding it to my smoothie and it really does help curb my appetite.
