About this Course
Tiger nut is not a new plant species in Nigeria. The cultivation of tiger nut requires mild climate and sandy soil. It is planted in April and harvested in November. The planting period is grouped into major (April-July) and minor (September-November) seasons.
Tiger nut requires irrigation until the tubers are due for harvesting. It has been established through R&D that the mineral contents and acceptability of tiger nut-milk is affected by the location and planting period.
This drink is quite popular in Northern Nigeria where they call it “kunun aya”. Here in Southern Nigeria, we never had anything to do with the milk until recently.
We just buy the nuts “aki Hausa’ and snack on them.
They are usually sold in wheel-barrows by Hausa petty-traders all over Nigeria.
If you live outside Nigeria I think you will find them in African shops.
