The Tigernut Bites are produced in varieties with dried black currants or plum and cinnamon, sharing a beneficial snack that's full of flavor. The tigernut is an [ancient superfood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paktli) that's not actually a nut but a small root vegetable and it's growing in popularity for its nutritious value and ability to provide an [allergy-friendly alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-body-eat-cookie-bites) to ingredients like dairy or nuts. Tigernuts are said to have a slightly sweet and nutty taste and a chewy texture that appeals to health-conscious consumers who are looking for snacks that are natural and allergen-free yet also not too sweet.
