Yes, tiger nuts (Tiger Nut), chufa (Chufa), and earth almonds (Earth Almond) refer to the tubers of the same plant. The scientific name is Cyperus esculentus, and it has different common names in different regions. The oil extracted from it is usually called "tiger nut oil" or "chufa oil" and is highly nutritious.

Chufa oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid and linoleic acid), with content exceeding 80%. It also contains abundant vitamin E, phytosterols, and various minerals. Its fatty acid composition is similar to olive oil, but it has stronger antioxidant properties, helps regulate blood lipids, protects cardiovascular health, and has natural anti-inflammatory and skin-care effects.

We use an advanced low-temperature physical cold-pressing process to directly press oil from chufa (earth almonds) without adding any chemical solvents, preserving natural nutrients to the greatest extent. Compared with refined cooking oils, cold-pressed chufa oil retains more active substances, has a refreshing taste with a unique nutty aroma, and has a high smoke point (about 210°C), suitable for various cooking methods.

Chufa oil has a high smoke point and good thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking such as frying, sautéing, deep-frying, baking, as well as for salad dressings or dipping sauces. It is recommended to consume 15–30 ml daily to replace some animal fats or common vegetable oils, which is both delicious and helpful for balancing fatty acid intake.

Earth almond oil comes from chufa (a herbaceous plant), while ordinary almond oil usually comes from woody plants (such as almonds or sweet almonds). Their fatty acid profiles differ: earth almond oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), whereas ordinary almond oil has a higher linoleic acid content. In addition, earth almond oil has stronger regional adaptability and is more water-efficient, making it a sustainable oil crop.

Xinjiang Desert Beibei Tiger Nut Industry Co., Ltd. relies on the unique sunlight and soil conditions of Xinjiang, with its own over 50,000 mu (about 3,300 hectares) of high-quality chufa planting base and plans to expand to millions of mu in the future. We adopt a standardized planting management system to control quality from the source, and all raw materials undergo strict screening to ensure every drop of oil is pure, safe, and nutritious.
