🥥 Tiger Nuts: A Prebiotic Powerhouse for Gut Health & Hormonal Balance
Have you tried Tiger Nuts yet? These ancient tubers (not actually nuts!) are packed with resistant starch, prebiotic fiber, and hormone-supportive nutrients that help nourish your microbiome and support longevity.
✨ How to Prepare Tiger Nuts for Optimal Digestibility & Benefit:
- Soak raw tiger nuts in spring water for 24 hours.
- After soaking, drain and rinse well.
- Store in a glass jar with a lid in the fridge.
- They’ll stay fresh for up to 4–5 days refrigerated. After that, they may ferment or sour.
🧬 Why Eat Tiger Nuts? Here’s What They Do for You:
* Prebiotic Fiber (Resistant Starch Type 2):
- Feeds beneficial microbes like Bifidobacteria, Akkermansia muciniphila, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. These microbes produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that helps:
- Seal leaky gut
- Soothe inflammation
- Power colon cells
- Increase satiety and support blood sugar balance
- Boosts Friendly Microbes
- Enhance nutrient absorption
- Crowd out pathogens
- Strengthen tight junctions in the gut lining
- Support mood and immune function
✅ Rich in Hormone-Supportive Nutrients:
Tiger nuts are a natural source of magnesium, potassium, arginine, and vitamin E, which support adrenal health, circulation, and hormone balance.
✅ Gentle Detox & Appetite Control:
The fiber in tiger nuts slows down digestion, balances blood sugar, and increases fullness—supporting metabolic health and natural detoxification.
🙌 How Much to Eat Daily:
Start with 5–10 soaked tiger nuts a day and gradually increase as tolerated. Always chew thoroughly to support digestion.
💡 Tips:
- Add them to smoothies, oatmeal, or eat as a crunchy snack.
- Blend into tiger nut milk or flour for gut-friendly baking.
Tiger nuts are an incredible daily addition to your microbiome nourishment plan, especially for prebiotic fiber diversity. 🌱🦠✨
