Tiger nuts π π
The botanical name of Tiger nut is Cyperus Esculentus. It belongs to the family Cyperaceae, which includes sedges. Tiger nuts are also known as Chufa nuts and are widely used for their nutritional and health benefits.
Tiger nuts are a nutrient-rich food that offers several health benefits. Here are some of them:
- Rich in Fiber: Tiger nuts are high in dietary fiber, which can help promote digestive health, prevent constipation, and support healthy blood sugar levels.
- Good Source of Vitamins and Minerals: They are rich in vitamins E and C, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are essential for maintaining overall health.
- Antioxidant Properties: Tiger nuts contain antioxidants that can help protect against cell damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
- Supports Heart Health: The fiber, potassium, and antioxidants in tiger nuts may help support heart health by reducing cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and inflammation.
- May Help Manage Blood Sugar: The fiber and other nutrients in tiger nuts may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Tiger nuts can be consumed in various forms, including as a snack, in milk, or as an ingredient in recipes. However, it's essential to note that some people may be allergic to tiger nuts, so moderation and awareness of potential allergies are recommended.
Star fruit π π
The botanical name of star fruit is Averrhoa Carambola. It belongs to the family Oxalidaceae.
Star fruit, also known as carambola, offers several health benefits due to its rich nutritional profile. Some key benefits include:
- Rich in Vitamins and Minerals: Star fruit is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and fiber, which support immune function, vision health, heart health, and digestion.
- Antioxidant Properties: The fruit contains antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
- Supports Heart Health: The potassium content in star fruit helps regulate blood pressure, reducing the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
- Aids Digestion: Star fruit is high in dietary fiber, which promotes healthy digestion, prevents constipation, and supports gut health.
- May Help Manage Blood Sugar: Some studies suggest that star fruit may have hypoglycemic effects, potentially helping to regulate blood sugar levels.
- Supports Skin Health: The vitamin C and antioxidants in star fruit can help improve skin health, reduce signs of aging, and promote a glowing complexion.
However, individuals with kidney problems should consume star fruit in moderation, as it contains a neurotoxin called oxalic acid that can accumulate in the kidneys and cause complications.
Tiger nuts and star fruit juice π₯€ making
To make my juices l bought my tiger nuts and also my star fruit in the market for 1 dollar π΅.
Steps:
- I separated the both in a bowl π₯£ and wash it properly to avoid dirt.
- Next l bought my hand machine and washed it also and kept it ready.
- I slice my star fruit into smaller pieces to make it more easily when grounding.
- After that l put my sliced star fruit π and tiger nuts into the hand machine and start to grind it.
*It can take up to 30 minutes or so to grind after that you put the mixture into a sieve so as to separate the chaff and the juice π₯€.
*You can now put the juice into a glass cup or can also decide to put it inside a fridge to chill.
So this is how we make Tiger nut and star fruit juice so l encourage you all to make your own juice π₯€.
you can follow me for more updates.

I didn't know you can combine star fruit and tigernut, thanks for the update π and it looks so tasty π
It a good combo
Yo Chizzy Ice! First off, that juice recipe? π₯ It sounds absolutely refreshing, natural, and packed with those health boosting vibes. Tiger nuts and star fruit together? Thatβs a certified super combo. Your breakdown made it so easy to follow too. I could almost taste that creamy, slightly tangy sweetness in my mind.
The part where you said it takes about 30 minutes to grind? Thatβs real dedication. I respect that natural grind, no shortcuts, just you and your hand machine like an OG juice boss
Also, your health breakdown of tiger nuts and star fruit? Top tier info. You didnβt just give us the "what," you gave us the why it matters. From fiber gains to heart support to that skin glow up, yes please.
And listen, I love how youβre keeping it simple and real, $1 ingredients and all heart. Thatβs how we build healthier lives and stronger communities without breaking the bank.
Iβd love to stay connected, do you have a Discord account? That way we can build a friendship and maybe I can learn more from your juice and wellness journey. Maybe even get mentored by you if you're down for that
Keep it coming, Chizzy! This is the kind of content we need more of on Hive, authentic, healthy, and community minded. Letβs keep growing and glowing! @ocd need to see this.
I really appreciate the way you stated your facts and what you really like about my juices is very good of you
