Black tigernuts are very well known in West Africa and are notably used in the composition of the traditional incense “woussoulan”, used in various rituals and traditional practices. These small seeds release a pleasant fragrance and are also used in routines of feminine well-being and intimate hygiene.
When consumed as a decoction, their taste is generally neutral or slightly bitter depending on the person.
