Tigernuts oil
Tigernut oil
Our tigernut oil is one of the most outstanding technical safe bets in the current range of products. At the moment, this oil is intended for the cosmetic sector, but our R&D department is working on several projects to reveal all its properties. Nowadays, it stands out for its high natural content of Vitamin E, which has numerous benefits for the skin, especially for the face. It has a high hydrating power is regenerative and contains anti-ageing antioxidants. Its usein food could be the logical evolution for this oil currently considered as ‘Novel food’.
Like all Tigernuts’ products, the technical process used to obtain tigernut oil is a guarantee of quality and safety. Cold pressing allows to maintain all the organoleptic and nutritional features of tigernut. The oil is orange-yellow in colour with a consistency that is pleasant to the touch and has a slightly sweet fragrance.

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.
