Fruity Tigernut drink: Watch This Before You Add Fruits to Kunu Aya (tigernut drink)

Tiger nut drink, also known as Kunu Aya, is a creamy, sweet, and refreshing traditional Nigerian drink made from tiger nuts (Aya), dates, coconut, and sometimes spices like ginger and cloves. This delicious drink is not only tasty but also packed with health benefits.

Tiger nuts are rich in nutrients: vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, making Kunu Aya a natural source of energy. It’s also lactose-free, dairy-free, and 100% plant-based, which makes it a great alternative to cow’s milk or processed drinks. Many people love tiger nut drink because it helps with digestion, boosts energy, improves heart health, and even supports weight management.

In Nigeria and across Africa, Kunu Aya is enjoyed as a healthy homemade drink that is perfect for any occasion—whether you’re having it chilled on a hot day, serving it to guests, or pairing it with your favorite snacks and meals.
