Vonive Cyperus esculentus/Tiger nut powder. "Underground walnuts" and "fruit of life" are the preferred food for astronauts!

Among the new organic plant raw materials on the Internet, there is another plant-based raw material that is expected to become a "superfood" - Cyperus esculentus, which looks like a nut and is also called "tiger nut" because of its wrinkled skin.

The origin of Cyperus esculentus (tiger nut) can be traced back to ancient Africa and the Mediterranean region 2 million years ago, which was the earliest place where Cyperus esculentus was planted. Cyperus rotundus has a long history. 80% of the food of human primitive ancestors came from Cyperus rotundus. It provided vital support for human survival, evolution and reproduction, and was even used as an offering in ancient tombs by the Egyptian royal family.

The spread of CCyperus esculentus was not widespread, and it was gradually forgotten by the mainstream in the countless food updates and various varieties in the long history. It was not until the rise of the Internet that Cyperus esculentus had a new beginning.

In October 2023, this highly nutritious plant was approved as a new food ingredient in China, which is about to kick off its application in Chinese food ingredients. On the online platform, we can also find relevant articles and recommended copy about it.

Cyperus esculentus

In fact, Cyperus esculentus has long been known as the "fruit of life", "underground walnut", "all-purpose nut", and "God's food" abroad. In the United Nations, Cyperus esculentus is listed as a key research object, is the first choice food for astronauts, and is even hailed as "the greatest food of this century."

It's not groundless, why is it rated as "God's Fruit"

The nut is also called tiger nut because of its wrinkled skin, which resembles the fur of a tiger. Keywords such as Tiger nut and chufa can be searched overseas.

Tiger nut is the tuber of the perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Cyperus, similar to peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. In terms of taste and flavor, the nut is very delicious, like peanuts and walnuts, and tastes full of oil and fragrance. It is sweeter than peanuts and more juicy than walnuts. Based on its rich and unique flavor, it can be directly made into soy milk for drinking. It is also often used to replace breast milk in Africa.

In my country, cyperus rotundus has been widely planted in the north since the 1970s.

According to the Xinhua Compendium of Materia Medica, cCyperus esculentus "is pungent, sweet and warm in nature, has the effects of soothing the liver and promoting qi, strengthening the spleen and strengthening the stomach, and is mainly used to treat flank pain and chest tightness caused by liver depression and qi stagnation; abdominal distension, stomach pain, poor appetite, spleen deficiency, food stagnation, indigestion and other symptoms caused by spleen and stomach qi stagnation."

After testing, cyperus rotundus is truly "small in size but with big energy" and has rich nutritional value.

It is rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, manganese and vitamin E, vitamin B1, B2, B6 and other trace elements.

Its protein content is 3 times that of milk and does not contain cholesterol.

It is rich in 17 kinds of amino acids, linolenic acid and linoleic acid, which is higher than olive oil. People often say that olive oil is a healthy oil because it has a high content of monounsaturated fatty acids. Similarly, Cyperus esculentus can also achieve the health effects of olive oil, which helps to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases to a certain extent.

The rich arginine is especially suitable for children and athletes. It has more than 56% natural vitamin E. It is high in sugar but can be eaten by diabetics because the high manganese it contains can regulate insulin.

1. Antioxidant

Tiger nuts are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E, which can help remove free radicals and reduce cell damage.

2. Promote digestion

Tiger nuts are rich in dietary fiber, which can increase intestinal motility and improve constipation.

3. Diuretic

The potassium in tiger nuts helps regulate the electrolyte balance in the body and promote water metabolism.

4. Lower blood sugar

The plant protein contained in tiger nuts can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, thereby stabilizing blood sugar levels.

5. Improve cardiovascular health

The unsaturated fatty acids in tiger nuts help lower blood lipids and cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis.

Although tiger nuts have many health benefits, they should not be consumed in excess to avoid discomfort such as bloating or diarrhea. For people with specific diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, it is recommended to consume them in moderation under the guidance of a professional doctor.

As China's Cyperus esculentus industry and the trend of healthy eating continue to develop, the rich nutritional value of cyperus rotundus has begun to attract the attention of food and beverage companies. In October 2023, cyperus rotundus was approved as a new food ingredient, and its food safety standards are implemented in accordance with the regulations for nuts and seeds.

Driven by national policies and regulations, the jatropha industry is now showing signs of accumulating momentum for rapid development.

Cyperus esculentus?

Its rich and healthy oil content makes it expected to become an edible oil with a higher oil yield than olive oil. It can also be used as a plant-based raw material for making noodles, non-gluten bread crumbs, etc. Its plant-based properties determine that cyperus rotundus will have relatively good development in the beverage industry, appearing in the form of plant protein beverages, plant milk, etc.

Benefiting from the influence of concepts such as health, sustainable development and environmental protection, the concept of "plant-based" has been popular again and again, and plant-based beverages that have attracted much attention have continued to emerge. In the plant-based market that lacks new raw materials, this time, Cyperus esculentus is a very good new plant-based beverage in terms of nutritional content and low allergens.

Cyperus esculentus is rich in carbohydrates, plant fats, proteins, fibers, vitamins, minerals, and digestive enzymes such as lipase and amylase. Compared with milk, cyperus rotundus contains more iron and magnesium, and does not contain sodium, lactose, casein, gluten, cholesterol and other advantages. It is very suitable for people with high blood pressure, lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance.

Vonive has been deeply involved in the healthy raw beverage industry for many years and has responded quickly to new plant-based raw materials. After a month of hard work, it has made sufficient preparations in the selection, research and development, and application of Cyperus esculentus raw materials, and has developed 5 Cyperus esculentus products with simple preparation methods.
