Tiger Nut “NOatmeal” is a delicious nut & grain free version of oatmeal. This nutrient-packed breakfast is the perfect way to start your day!

Despite what the name might have you believe, tiger nuts are not actually nuts, but rather small tubers.

They’re rich in a variety of nutrients and have been linked to several health benefits — including improvements in gut health.

Here are a couple of ways tiger nuts can support gut health …

FIBER

Tiger nuts are high in insoluble fiber, which passes through your gut without being digested. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your poop and helps food move through your gut easily, reducing the likelihood of constipation.

In addition, insoluble fiber captures toxins, waste, fat and cholesterol particles and expels them from your system.

Tiger nuts contain more fiber per serving than many other recommended high-fiber foods, like quinoa or chia seeds. One serving of tiger nuts contains 10 grams of fiber, providing you with almost half of your daily requirement.

RESISTANCE STARCH

Tiger nuts contain resistant starch, a type of prebiotic fiber that can feed the friendly bacteria in your gut, helping your digestion run smoothly.

It’s a good idea to introduce resistant starch prebiotics into your diet gradually. This can help you avoid any temporary gas or bloating you could experience otherwise.
