The History of Tiger Nut Oil
Tiger Nut Oil, extracted from the tubers of Cyperus esculentus - also known as tiger nuts, chufa, or earth almonds - has a remarkable legacy that stretches back thousands of years. This nourishing oil is far more than a modern wellness trend; it is rooted in some of the world’s oldest agricultural and holistic traditions.

Ancient Origins: Egypt and Beyond
Tiger nuts are believed to be one of the earliest domesticated plants, with archaeological evidence tracing their use as far back as 4000 BCE in Ancient Egypt. They were so highly regarded that they were found in the tombs of pharaohs and featured in ancient recipes, including sweet cakes made from tiger nuts and honey. In addition to their role as a nourishing food, tiger nuts may have been used in sacred and medicinal rituals, highlighting their cultural and spiritual value.

Mediterranean Heritage
The knowledge of tiger nuts spread throughout the Mediterranean Basin, particularly during the Arab expansion. By the 13th century, tiger nuts were thriving in Valencia, Spain, where they became the key ingredient in the traditional beverage horchata de chufa - a drink that is still beloved today. Spanish farmers continue to cultivate tiger nuts in the same sun-soaked soil, preserving a centuries-old tradition.

West African Wisdom
In West Africa, tiger nuts have long been treasured as a food, drink ingredient, and energizing snack. Known as “aya” in Hausa and used in beverages like kunu aya, they have played a role in everyday life, nutrition, and traditional medicine. Their creamy texture and naturally sweet taste have made them a staple in many regional cuisines and home remedies.

A Rebirth in Modern Wellness
Today, tiger nuts and their cold-pressed oil are gaining global recognition as a nourishing, sustainable, and multi-purpose plant ingredient. Tiger Nut Oil in particular is appreciated for its high content of oleic acid, vitamin E, and phytosterols, making it ideal for skin, hair, and culinary uses. While science now confirms many of its benefits, the story of Tiger Nut Oil begins with human intuition, ancient wisdom, and a deep connection to nature.
