Govinda Erdmandeln (Tigernuts)

Govinda's ground tigernuts (Erdmandeln) are a popular gluten-free alternative used in baking and health foods. The brand was founded in Germany by Doris Maiwald, focusing on Ayurvedic principles and natural nutrition. Their tigernuts are typically sourced from fair-trade projects in West African countries like Niger or Burkina Faso, where the climate is ideal for these tubers.

The final processing, including grinding and packaging, is primarily conducted in Germany at Govinda's own facility. To this day, Govinda Natur GmbH remains an independent, family-managed company based in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, rejecting ownership by large international food conglomerates to maintain their commitment to organic and ethical standards.
