Tiger nut, or Chufa in Spanish, is a sedge that produces nutritious and flavorful tubers. There are several varieties of tiger nut, and some can be grown in Sweden, but they are sensitive to frost and usually do not survive the winter here.

Tiger nuts are one of the world's oldest cultivated crops, documented as early as 4000 years ago in Egypt. It is said to have arrived in Spain around 700 CE and is now cultivated there, especially in the area around Valencia. Tiger nuts are also grown in North Africa, USA, Mexico, and parts of Asia.
