Caveman Food for You!
For thousands of years our ancestors have been eating these tubers (yeah, they're actually not nuts!) to provide the nutrition they need to survive. Now you can harness the power that fueled the world's greatest hunters.
The Great Wall of China. Stonehenge. The Roman Coliseum. As humans, we respect the things that have stood against the test of time. Just as these landmarks did, Tiger Nuts have withstood time. After a great hunt, cavemen would treat themselves to a handful of Tiger Nuts. Now you can as well.
We can assure you that out Premium Organic Tiger Nuts are the very same as were consumed by our Caveman ancestors, and today we not only grow them organically, but they are packed in our own organic facilities in New York.                                                         Â
Here's an article that was published in the New York Times!

nicknamed Nutcracker Man for his big, flat molars and powerful jaws — didn’t
actually eat nuts, researchers say.
Gabriele Macho of the University of Oxford and colleagues discuss their theory about the early hominid, known as Paranthropus boisei, in the journal PLoS One.
Ever since, researchers have had trouble determining what he ate. His strong jaws hinted at a diet of hard foods like nuts, but the lack of indentations in his teeth suggested softer foods, Dr. Macho said.

In 2011, an isotope analysis of his teeth revealed that he relied on a class of plants, known as C4 plants, that includes grasses and sedges. But they did not have the nutrients that a large-brained hominid would need, Dr. Macho said.
She looked closely at the C4 foods that baboons eat at Amboseli National Park inKenya, an environment similar to Nutcracker Man’s, and discovered tiger nuts. By dining on them for 88 minutes a day, the hominid could have easily filled hisnutritional needs, she said.
