HORCHATA, TIGERNUTS MILK, TIGUERNUTS JUICE
The “Horchata”
is a vegetable
milk extracted directly from the tigernut. It’s a refreshing
drink, superb as substitutive of traditional cow milk with a
natural sweet taste.
 |
The following characteristics make the
horchata the perfect substitute of vegetable milk:
| - |
Ideal milk for persons
that don’t tolerate gluten (celiacs) or that are
allergic to cow milk and it’s derivates.
|
| - |
Helps in reduction of LDL (“bad”)
cholesterol and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol
because of its high contents of oleic acid and Vitamin
E, which has an antioxidant effect on fats.
|
| - |
The high content of oleic acid
and the enzyme arginine prevents arteriosclerosis.
|
| - |
Suitable for diabetic persons.
|
| - |
Recommended for persons with digestion
disorders, flatulence and diarrheas, because of the content
of digestive enzymes (lipase, catalase, amilase).
|
| - |
The high content of fibre has a
good effect on digestion, as it stimulates digestive juices,
contributes to a longer feeling of fullness and speeds
up transit in the intestinal tract and so prevents constipation.
|
| - |
It has a high content of minerals,
phosphor, calcium, magnesium, iron and vitamins, where
the content of vitamin C and E is especially considerable. |

HEALTY CHARACTERISTICS OF HORCHATA
1.
TIGERNUTS ARE WASHED AND REHYDRATED:
The
Tigernuts are washed in order to get away all the dust and
dirt using a special designed machine. Once clean they are
bathed in germicide. After this they are washed again and
rinsed thoroughly. Finally they are rehydrated for several
hours. |
2. JUICE EXTRACTION:
The
Tigernuts are triturated with added water and squeezed
with special pressing and sifting equipment. The result
is a thick and milky liquid rich in fats and starch. |
3. ADDITION OF
SUGAR:
The
obtained juice is mixed with sugar, using a special mixer
which shakes the juice to obtain a consistent product. We
add NO preservatives and NO colouring agents. |
4. TIGERNUTS EXTRACT:
Once
the juice has been obtained a special machinery reduces the
water content and we obtain the Tigernuts extract. This extract
has same characteristics as the juice with water. In order
to obtain again Tigernuts juice, you only need to add 3 or
4 parts
of water for each part of Tigernuts extract. |
5. BOTTLING:
Now
the product is filled in sterilized glass bottles with
500ml or 1000ml capacity, which are sealed after filling
them up. |
