Cyperus esculentis is also widely known by its more common names of Yellow Nutsedge, Nut Grass, Chufa Sedge and Water Grass. It is a perennial that can be found in many regions of the world, and it is also widely cultivated. Yellow Nutsedge is a grassy, flowering plant that belongs to the Cyperaceae (Sedge) family. The plant produces small, round tubers that resemble nuts and have a unique striped appearance on their exterior. As such, these fascinating tubers are commonly referred to as tigernuts or sometimes tiger nuts.

Historical evidence suggests that the tigernut has likely been cultivated and used for thousands of years, particularly in Egypt. Tigernuts are highly nutritious and have been used throughout history for their culinary and nutritive applications.

Our Organic Virgin Tigernut Oil is a beautiful, golden oil with very minimal aroma. It is highly emollient and is well suited for a wide range of personal care applications. It boasts a significant level of alpha-tocopherol. It is a primarily monounsaturated oil due to its composition of approximately 67% Oleic Acid. It also includes almost 12% Linoleic Acid, a polyunsaturated Omega-6 fatty acid.

Our premium quality Organic Virgin Tigernut Oil is cold pressed from tigernuts that have been expertly and sustainably cultivated and processed in Spain. After the oil is produced, it is carefully filtered and packaged to maintain the purity and freshness of this highly nutritive oil. As with all of our organic ingredients, our Organic Virgin Tigernut Oil is non-GMO. It is certified organic by CCOF, a USDA-accredited certifying agency.

“Thank you for being so dependable.”

“I order quite a bit. I just want you guys to know, I think you run an awesome business. I have always been happy with your product and how fast you deliver. Thank you. I ordered some oil yesterday and had it shipped over night. I was wondering if you would have it processed and shipped that day and I just tracked down my order and it will be here today. Thank you for being so dependable.”
