Tigernuts are tasty little tubers (not actually nuts) that pack a powerful punch when it comes to nutrition. I've had a bag of whole tigernuts in my pantry waiting to be used. In the past, I have purchased commercially made tigernut butter but of late, I've been unable to find it so I decided to try making it myself. The picture above is the end result....I wasn't successful in making butter, but I did make some excellent tigernut power balls! Tigernuts are extremely hard and I decided to soak them for 24 hours. Then I tried to make butter using my food processor, my Vitamex and my mini food processor. None of these could break these tigernuts down into butter. I tried adding coconut oil to see if that would help things along. It didn't do much. After many minutes, the blender did manage to get them a little chopped up, it was slow going though and I was losing my patience. I put part of the mix into my ultra powerful mini food processor and that got things ...
