About Tigernut milk
Tigernut milk is a beverage made by extracting or blending tigernuts with water and separating some or all of the solids. It is used as a drink or as an ingredient in other preparations. The name covers varied recipes and commercial products, not a single standardized formulation.
The drink is usually pale beige and may be smooth or slightly gritty, with a sweet, earthy and nutty taste. It may be sold fresh or shelf-stable, sweetened or unsweetened, and strained to different degrees; some products contain stabilizers or other additions. These differences affect both texture and composition.
