Tigernuts was founded in 1997 in L’Eliana (Valencia, Spain), when its founder, Ramón Carrión, became aware of the virtues of the African tigernut (traditionally grown in Africa) and its nutritional properties and recognised its potential for the Spanish market. Tigernuts met the high demand of the time by pioneering the import and export of tigernuts as an ingredient.
The company has been steadily growing ever since and now trades on the global market across five continents. It has introduced tigernuts into new sectors by developing a wide range of products and continues to work closely with its trusted suppliers to guarantee round-the-clock availability of the product. Today, Tigernuts is the world’s leading company in the tigernut sector.
