Peeled tigernuts
Our peeled tigernuts respond to a specific market demand: to be able to eat tigernuts in a more pleasant and direct way. We have used our experience at handling tigernuts, finding an unprecedented way of refining the tuber mechanically, in order to eliminate their rough skin without losing excess matter. Since 2016, thanks to an exclusive process, we have managed to eliminate 100% of the outer layer of the tigernut and 60% of its inner layer to obtain peeled tigernuts.
Peeled tigernuts arrived on the market at an opportune time. According to the Mondelez State of Snacking 2019 study, almost 60% of adults and 70% of millennials prefer to consume a snack whilst sitting down. This consumer trend goes hand in hand with a growing demand for natural, healthy products. Peeled tigernuts have all the characteristics to become a benchmark product in the sector.

The ecological cultivation of our tigernuts
Increasing the production of ORGANIC tigernuts is one of our main commitments. On the one hand, it is a natural response to growing consumer demand, expressed through our customers. On the other hand, the transition to ecological farming is motivated by an ambition: to work better, to propose a better product, to be a better company.
Currently, our ORGANIC tigernut, certified by Control Union and regularly controlled, comes from Niger. It is free of toxic residues from pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and synthetic fertilisers used in conventional agriculture. Crop rotation is applied in our ORGANIC fields so as not to deplete the nutrients from the soil, improve biodiversity and maintain crop yields.
Currently our production varies between 25% and 35% of ecological product. Our goal is to exceed 50% by 2025.
Beyond its commitment to quality, the stability and availability of its products have always defined Tigernuts. A large part of our work—and our responsibility—lies in managing our supply chain and maintaining strong relationships with our suppliers. This approach allows us to guarantee product availability at the best possible price. Now that the 2026 harvest is
