SeedRanch Chufa Seed - 5 Lbs.

well packaged for shipping, good value for cost, seeds look healthy, Just need Spring to show up now!

Very happy with the quality of the chufa seeds (tiger nuts). I am looking forward to planting them in the spring and making tiger nut milk.

Just planted it..coming up strong.. Will see how well it does in the next few months

Yes very useful

Seeds didn't sprout. Waste of money.

I am almost hesitant to post this review for fear that Seed Barn/Ranch will increase the price. I bought 16 oz packages of Tiger Nuts from two other Amazon sellers and they were great. Problem was, they were also ridiculously expensive. They were sold as 'peeled', but the only thing they did was run them through a food-grade abrasive drum to peel off some, not all, of one of the healthiest parts of this nut. Let me say that Chufa Seed/Tiger Nuts/Earth Almonds whatever, are a superfood that stretches back to Paleolithic Hunter-Gatherers. They contain: Prebiotic Fiber (Resistant Starch Type 2) [this feeds all the good bugs that hopefully make up your gut biome without feeding the fat cells covering your abs] • Alpha-tocopherol [Anti-oxidant that reduces oxidative DNA damage--think cancer] • Magnesium, Potassium, and Zinc [sort of the 'Big Three' minerals] • High levels of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid [improves lipid profiles] • and lastly, possibly why they are called Tiger Nuts, they have been shown in research studies to significantly increase serum Testosterone. Apparently the rats in the study grew larger nuts and became quite randy around the females. These nuts from Seed Barn are sold as seed to plant or seed to give to animals. Other reviewers have indicated that they are edible and I can confirm that they are not only edible, but delicious--sort of chewy, nutty flavor that is surprisingly sweet. You can eat them right out of the feed bag, but I grind them up in my lunchtime smoothie.

Bought to make horchata drinks but even after soaking they aren't soft enough to use in my soyjoy milk maker! they were just as hard after a half hour! If anyone knows how to use them better let me know! Maybe I need to grind them first. I don't have wild turkeys or a fish farm so I'm sure they are good for those things! I did plant some and they are growing well in my raised bed. Don't know yet what I'll do with even more, though!!

They look like dried peas, planting them for wildlife forage
