Scientific Overview & Nutritional Excellence

We supply premium Tiger Nut (Cyperus esculentus) Powder, an ancient superfood recognized by the FAO as a "Future Crop." Officially approved by the NHC as a New Food Raw Material in October 2023, Tiger Nut (known as "You Sha Dou" in China) is revolutionizing the plant-based industry. It boasts an exceptional nutritional profile characterized by high oleic acid, high dietary fiber, premium plant protein, and a remarkably low Glycemic Index (GI=42).

With a biological protein value of 90.54 (surpassing standard milk and soy) and an oleic acid content mimicking premium olive oil, our Tiger Nut powder is completely gluten-free, lactose-free, and contains zero trans fats. Its natural sweet and nutty flavor profile (a blend of peanut, walnut, and buckwheat notes) makes it an incredibly versatile, highly functional base for modern health-conscious food and beverage formulations.

Target Application Scenarios & Formulation Benefits

As a high-potential, multi-dimensional nutritional ingredient, Tiger Nut seamlessly aligns with the global shift towards natural, health-focused, plant-based diets. It is widely utilized across six major food innovation sectors:

• ✔ Low GI & Weight Management: With a clinically verified GI of 42 and rich resistant starch, it slows carbohydrate absorption, making it the perfect core ingredient for diabetic-friendly snacks, keto diets, and sports nutrition.

• ✔ Plant-Based Milks & Proteins: Fills the gap in premium plant proteins. It is highly suitable for formulating lactose-free vegan milks, protein bars, and sports supplements with exceptional amino acid profiles.

• ✔ Gut Health & High-Fiber Baking: Contains 18-20% dietary fiber (both soluble and insoluble). It promotes intestinal motility and satiety, ideal for high-fiber bread, cookies, and functional meal replacement shakes.

• ✔ Cardiovascular & Premium Oils: The lipid profile consists of 25-32% total fats, with over 80% unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid up to 73.3%) and 5-10 times the Vitamin E of olive oil, offering profound cardiovascular protection.

Precautions & Formulation Guidelines

• Storage Notice: Being a nutrient-dense whole food powder with natural oils, it must be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent lipid oxidation and maintain freshness.

• Formulation Superiority: Tiger Nut powder provides natural sweetness and a creamy texture, allowing formulators to significantly reduce added sugars in recipes while achieving a clean label.

• Target Demographics: Perfectly suited for broad demographics including office workers, fitness enthusiasts, the elderly, and children, due to its comprehensive micronutrient profile and easy digestibility.

• Production Integration: Blends seamlessly with other gluten-free flours (like almond or coconut flour) and plant proteins (like pea or rice protein) to enhance the overall biological value and mouthfeel.
