Testimonials
I am completely fond of this little tuber rich in fiber and micronutrients! I like to consume it as a snack! I also use it a lot as flour or flakes in pastry! Its small sweet taste makes it possible to considerably decrease the amount of sugar in desserts, it's great! La Noix Tigrée's products are delicious and nutritious, double A for the Chocolate Tiger Nut Granola and the CROC Doré with pepper and turmeric which are my 2 favorite products.

J’aime beaucoup les laits végétaux confectionnés à partir du souchet de la Noix Tigrée: naturellement sucré, doux et velouté, ils sont rafraîchissants et très bons! J’aime aussi la nouvelle gamme de granolas au souchet et sarrasin bien croustillante et gourmande!
