Tigernut, or ground almond, is a grass that produces small, almond- and coconut-flavoured tubers at the roots.;;;Tigernut is used to prepare a refreshing sweet drink, known in Spain as the name of horchata de chufa (sedge milk or, more precisely, tiger nut orgeat). In Africa, it is generally eaten fresh or dried as a delicacy, like peanuts or coconut. A delicious juice is extracted from it. It also makes excellent oil and even flour, and is often found on market stalls. This tuber is one of the oldest cultivated plants in ancient Egypt. Tigernut was undoubtedly an important element in the diet of ancient Egypt. In dynastic times, for example, it was made into cakes. The yellow nutsedge is annual, non-invasive in our climates, because the cold of our winters prevents it from reproducing.

🌱 8 Pawpaw Seeds – Cold-Hardy Fruit Tree from Quebec

The pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a unique fruit adapted to northern climates. Cultivated in Quebec and southern Ontario for centuries, this tree was cherished by Indigenous peoples long before European settlers arrived.

Similar in size to a mango, the pawpaw offers a delightful blend of banana, mango, pineapple, and cantaloupe flavors. Once known as the "poor man's banana" when imported bananas became popular, this rare fruit is actually a hidden gem! Enjoy it fresh or mixed with dairy for a creamy milkshake.


Once ripe, pawpaws last only a few days, making them difficult to commercialize. Grow your own and savor this exclusive fruit that few get to taste!
