Yo Tigernut
Health Benefit of Tigernut Drink
Tigernut milk drink is one of the tastiest and most delicious drink that
is made in Nigeria.
This drink is quite popular in Northern Nigeria, where they call it
“kunun aya”. Here in Southern Nigeria, we had nothing to do with the
milk until recently. We just buy the nuts “aki Hausa’ and snack on them.
If you live outside Nigeria, I think you will find them in African shops. There is so much you can do with these nuts, you can choose to eat them as they come or combine them with dates to make a delicious milk drink. Since I learned about the health benefits and the fact that I could extract the milk, I have settled on a simple two-ingredient recipe for tiger nut milk.
