Xufa de Valencia

Xufa de Valencia, or tiger nuts, are a traditional snack from the Valencia region of Spain. Known for their unique taste and health benefits, these small tubers have been cultivated in the Valencian Community for centuries, being an essential part of its agricultural heritage. The product is often marketed as a healthy alternative to nuts, gluten-free, and rich in dietary fiber.

The company that originally brought this product to prominence leverages the region's rich agricultural traditions to ensure that the quality and flavor profiles are preserved. Today, Xufa de Valencia is owned by various companies focusing on local production and preservation of this unique crop.

The ultimate owner of some of these tiger nut brands may include larger food companies looking to tap into the growing health food market, ensuring that traditional products like Xufa are accessible to a broader audience.

Various local distributors and cooperatives liaise with these brands, enhancing the reach and availability of Xufa products within and beyond Spain.
