TigerNut clusters
Staying in the healthier snacks aisle, the latest innovations from Organic Gemini include organic TigerNut Clusters, which combine dehydrated tigernuts (nutrient-packed tubers), maple syrup, raw cacao, sacha inchi and sea salt, and are designed to be eaten straight out of the bag or on top of yogurt.
Tigernuts – which Organic Gemini sources from Niger in Africa via its Spanish partner – are high in resistant starch, a prebiotic fiber that resists digestion in the small intestine and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the large intestine.
But they are also rich in calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamins E and C, says George Papanastasatos, who co-founded Organic Gemini with Mariam Kinkladze in 2014.
