Tigernuts cycle:
CULTIVATION
Tigernut cultivation requires sandy soil and a mild climate. As such, the geography of Valencia, situated on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, makes it the ideal location for producing the highest quality Tigernuts.
TIGERNUTS CYCLE
Tigernuts are growing from end of April until September. Tigernuts plant dries during September / October and is ready for being harvested in November / December.
HARVEST
During the months of December to March, the Tigernuts are harvested. This is a very slow process, where everything is done to not harm the tuber.
WASHING
Immediately after harvest, the Tigernuts are washed with water in order to remove any sand and small stones.
DRYING
Once the Tigernuts have been cleaned, they are dried out in order to preserve them. This is a natural process that requires 3 months. Temperature and humidity levels are carefully monitored during this period. The Tigernuts are turned over every day to ensure uniform drying.
SELECTION
Only the highest quality Tigernuts are selected for sale. Small and damaged Tigernuts are removed by an automatic process before packaging.
SPECIAL CARE
Tigernuts can be stocked before use without losing any of their unique properties for up to 2 years after purchase. It is important, however, that they be stored in a properly ventilated area (if possible, next to a window) and that in summertime and during hot spells, you remove the plastic that they are wrapped in during haulage.
