These are the original chufas, also called ground almonds or tiger nuts. They are not a nut but a root vegetable. They are organic, raw and allergen-free. Rich in fibre that acts as a prebiotic, a nutrient for good gut bacteria. Chufas contain the minerals magnesium and iron and are rich in phosphorus and potassium.
Use
These chufas can be eaten straight from the bag, however, it takes considerable chewing. Peeled chufas are better for this or you soak them for 12 hours first, they will soften a bit.
This chufa is most commonly used to make horchata! A sweet vegetable milk what has been sold on the streets of Valencia for centuries. Soak them in water in the fridge for 24 hours, then grind them with 3 to 4 times as much fresh water in a blender or Vegan Milker together with a date and some salt. Leave for a while in the fridge and drink ice cold. The pulp is given to donkeys in Spain!
At 'Recipes' you will find the entire recipe for horchata. We have also created an e-book with 8 recipes for variations of horchata and 2 recipes using the pulp (leftover product) as an ingredient. Download the PDF by clicking on the image.

The non - 'ground' nuts require more effort to chew properly. Benefit: less snacking tendency or intake of many calories.

Tastes a bit like coconut/almond. Creamier than I expected. Made milk from it with a hand blender and an ordinary sieve, went fine. (Let it soak for a day first) Didn't even use a special cloth or anything. Super tasty!

very occasionally there is one with mould in it, and some very small stones. otherwise top stuff! very addictive, though; I notice a great positive effect on my intestines.

Thanks for your review, but should you see anything with mould I would love to hear about it. Mould should absolutely not occur in the product. Neither should stones but unfortunately it does happen sometimes even if they are cleaned well. Glad you are experiencing a positive effect on your bowels! Greetings Sander

Probably my two stars are based on no experience: the chufas are sublimely hard! Even after two nights of soaking. I have a professional hand blender, but it still found it pretty hard. I didn't like the milk of the chufas either. Did I have to boil the nuts first or what?

Top-quality chufas. Convenient and hygienic vacuum packaging for good storage.

New experience, I find it an ideal replacement for my nut addiction. It doesn't make me fat, and most importantly, I can chew!

Never made or drank Chufa milk before. The taste is delicious and just right. For me, there is no need to add salt and sweet to this.

You can make delicious sweet milky drinks from chufa nuts. I also like to nibble them like this. Soak them in water overnight to make them crunchy. They are very healthy.

Finally making your own horchata! So much tastier than that stale sweet horchata from a packet!
And the pulp goes through yoghurt or into granola.

Nice one Gea, yes there's nothing like fresh anyway 🙂 )
