Chufa Butter
Chufa nuts, or Tiger Nuts, which is not a nut at all, but rather a tuber of sedge grass, is one of the most powerful and well-known superfoods on the planet. While its use goes back to ancient times, it has recently been identified as a great addition to the paleo diet, and is an excellent food for people with allergies or gluten intolerance, as a digestive aid, a potent antioxidant and an aphrodisiac.
The small wrinkled “nuts” have a delicious flavor, sweet and nutty, and especially popular all around the world is the milk which can be easily pressed from chufa. In Spain, this milk is called Horchata De Chufa, in Nigeria Kunun Aya, and it is known by many different names in many different cultures.

Chufa, though, can be eaten or used in many different ways: soaked and even germinated and eaten raw, added to salads, smoothies and the like, cooked into many different recipes, powdered into flour and used in baking, and other ways as well. However you do it, though, you can be assured of a full complement of nutrients, vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, amino acids, fiber and much more, and can enjoy the health, healing, protection and functionality these remarkable tubers provide. Chufa are rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C and E, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, are high in insoluble fiber and monounsaturated fat and resistant starch, and contain arginine, antioxidants and other flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and phenolics.

Chufa are, as mentioned above, often pressed to yield their delicious, creamy milk. While enhancing or increasing many of the already abundant health benefits, this milk is also considered as probably the best form to take chufa as an aphrodisiac, especially in combination with certain other foods and spices which can enhance these effects.
The most popular drink of Chufa is often blended with dates, called kunun aya in Nigeria, and has been used for centuries there to improve fertility, increase libido and sexual energy and fight erectile dysfunction.
