Original Spanish Tiger Nut Drink
Horchata de Chufa comes from Valencia, Spain, where farmers have been growing chufa (tiger nuts) for hundreds of years. These tiny striped tubers were brought to Spain by the Moors, who loved them for their refreshing flavor.
In hot Spanish summers, families made horchata by soaking the nuts overnight and blending them with water to create a naturally sweet, creamy drink. Today it’s still one of Spain’s favorite summer treats — especially paired with fartons, long fluffy pastries perfect for dunking!
