Health-conscious consumers who are looking for a natural, protein-rich snack often turn to some sort of nut butter, especially one of the many alternative nut butter products on the market that provide more variety than classic peanut butter. The Tiger Butter Co. set itself apart by creating a unique kind of spread with tigernuts, which are said to taste like nuts but are actually root vegetables from Africa and Spain.
The brand's Original Tiger Butter and Chocolate Tiger Butter have the potential to be enjoyed as more nutrient-dense alternatives to peanut butter and almond butter, and are especially appealing to those who need to avoid nuts or are following a low-FODMAP diet.
The brand's alternative nut butters are made with just a few simple ingredients like organic ground tigernuts, plus coconut oil, vanilla extract, Himalayan pink salt and Vitamin E.
