Hello Blurtters,
This is tiger nut and it is very common in the northern part of Nigeria which is also a very good source of nutrients to the body naturally and when you also combine it with other nuts it is extremely great as well. This also made me to go into the tiger not market here in ilorin kwara state to purchase some quantity of it and process it into another form which is equally acceptable in a dried and powdered form. To do this IT IS EXTREMELY not easy because I encountered a lot of challenges such as picking off the tiger nut one after the other in order to sort it out.
Thereafter I proceeded to washing of the tiger nut before going into the next process has shown in the pictures. Tiger nut is not common in some state in western part of Nigeria such as. Osogbo, ife,ilesa, ondo and so on. But when you come today extreme northern part of Nigeria or to mid north, you find it more. This tiger not also has both the dried form and the wet form. The one you are saying in the picture is in semi dry form. So I needed to process it neatly so that it will be healthy for consumption. It is good for age people and everyone as well to consume it in a moderate form or ratio. I took this pictures while I was processing it with my children.
- They are also my helper in the farm likewise here as well. They are always happy when it comes to working out with their parents.
This was when I gathered up the semi-dried tiger nut to process it afresh. Some people actually consume it this way because it is edible for consumption but because I want to process it into another form of consuming meal like the flour meal so I needed to make sure that it is thoroughly processed I took some pictures of when I poured it into the bowl of water dirt form flying off the water.
This was when I bought some portion of the semi tried tiger nut into the bowl of water for thorough washing. Nowadays there is outbreak of so many diseases which can be contacted through food and fruits and so many other means so as individuals we need to be extremely careful of what we put in our mouth or give to other people so we need to always keep safe. We need to be very vigilant and care for our food and fruit to be properly consumable and free from germs.
The children are also helping me to figure out the death and I pick them up myself. This was where they were needed.
- You can see that the water was extremely dirty so this is the more reason why any food or fruit should be thoroughly washed before consuming. Thousands of people consume it this way without thorough worship they just select the stones and some other things then throw it in the mouth. Sometimes when it is consumed in a much quantity it may cause diarrhea. Continuous stooling.
This was how it showed after I have watched it and it was ready for sundry. Other things do you know the tiger nut is used for? You can also comment in the comment box. It is also processed into milk or smoothie.
