Madame Tiger Original Tiger Nut Milk 1lt
Australia’s original tiger nut milk. Made with organic tiger nuts from West Africa, Australian extra virgin olive oil, and faba bean protein. No seed oils, no gums, no emulsifiers. Nut free, dairy free, FODMAP friendly.
Tiger nuts are not nuts at all - they’re tubers, similar in structure to sweet potatoes, named for the stripes on their exterior. They’ve been eaten in West Africa and Mediterranean Europe for thousands of years. Madame Tiger’s founder Laura was introduced to them by her father-in-law, who grew up with them as a staple food in Mali, West Africa. After years of recipe tinkering, she built a plant milk around them that avoids the ingredients she found in virtually every other alternative milk: seed oils, gums, and emulsifiers.
The result is a plant milk made with ingredients you’d actually recognise. Australian extra virgin olive oil instead of canola or sunflower oil. Faba bean protein (locally grown) instead of soy. Organic demerara sugar for a touch of natural sweetness. Minerals and B vitamins added so the nutritional profile is genuinely comparable to dairy milk. No seed oils, no gums, no emulsifiers, no e-numbers.
The tiger nuts themselves are sourced from Mousso Faso, a predominantly female farming collective in Burkina Faso, West Africa, grown using only rainwater without pesticides or synthetic chemicals.
Madame Tiger is an independently owned, family-run Australian business. SBS Small Business Award winner.
