Tigernut Allergy Alert: Safely Savoring Paleo Restaurant Meals

For Paleo diners with tigernut allergies, restaurant meals pose hidden risks. As Paleo cuisine increasingly uses tigernut flour as a grain-free staple, accidentally consuming it can trigger severe allergic reactions. Misleading labels (like "chufa" or "earth almond") and cross-contamination amplify the danger, turning a healthy meal into a health emergency. Navigating menus becomes a high-stakes challenge, especially when traveling or facing language barriers.

Why Tigernut is a Paleo Allergy Hazard

Tigernut isn’t a nut—it’s a tuber commonly ground into flour for Paleo pizzas, baked goods, and coatings. Its subtle sweetness and versatility make it a kitchen favorite, yet it rarely receives explicit warnings on menus. Even trace amounts from shared prep surfaces can provoke reactions, leaving allergy sufferers vulnerable.
