There was a section in a garden magazine last season about thewe little nuts,well they are not acually a nut they are a tuber,with a grass top above ground they grow on the roots down below.
I bought 12 plug plants,planted them in a tub and left them to grow,you will know when they are ready when the grass dies off in the autumn.
We harvested them a few weeks ago,a bit fiddley but we ended up with about 300,when they are picked you need to wash them off then bring them in to dry off on a piece off kitchen towel.
You can eat them fresh they taste cross between an almond and a brazil nut,but the good thing is they are not a nut and they are packed full of vitamins minerals and high in fibre and protein,there is plenty of information about them on the internet if anyone is interested.
We also made some tiger nut milk,and flour from the husks so there is no waste at all
