- also known as "chufa", they are small tubers that grow at the root of the Cyperus esculentus plant;
- they have a slightly oval shape and are covered by a brown outer shell;
- Botanically, they belong to the bitter herb family and have nothing in common with nuts, so ground almonds are a good alternative for people with nut allergies.

Soak for 12-24 hours (cold water, in the refrigerator) for a pleasant texture and easier digestion. Rinse before consumption.
Plant-based drink (3 steps): blend hydrated ground almonds with cold water, strain finely, sweeten lightly (optional) - ideal for coffee, cereal or smoothies.
Gluten-free flour: Replaces 20-30% of regular flour in pancakes, cookies, and cakes. Adds moisture and natural sweetness.
Snack or topping: toasted slices, added to yogurt, granola, salads or in burgers/legumes for texture.
