Product overview
Tiger Nuts for Food, Beverage and Ingredient Markets
Tiger nuts are edible tubers used in food and beverage applications. Nigerian-origin dried tiger nuts can be evaluated for international buyers requiring whole nuts or further processing into ingredients.
The product is suitable for sourcing enquiries from snack manufacturers, beverage producers, wholesalers and food ingredient distributors. Buyers should specify whether they require whole dried nuts or a processed product such as flour or oil.
Product selection should be based on the buyer's intended application. Size, moisture, cleanliness, sorting and microbiological requirements can affect acceptance and commercial value.
Abmia can coordinate sourcing discussions around the required specification, target quantity, destination market and shipment arrangement.
