Chufa beyond the horchata

tastaldaci.com

For several years now we have known that horchata is no longer the only thing that comes out of jufa. Chufes Ox, in fact, sells a cream called Chufacream, made with Valencian chufa, cultivated in the Horta Nord. A cream made here that doesn't have to travel thousands of kilometers like other nut creams, such as almond or peanut, which often come from America or Turkey, especially those found in large supermarkets. With an ideal use for rubbing on toast at breakfast or also in desserts or sweet recipes, it has a natural and pleasant taste without any added sugar. It has a high level of fiber, which helps digestion, and contains healthy fats and minerals such as potassium or magnesium, which contribute to the proper functioning of the body. Choosing a Zero Kilometer Chufa cream is a nutritious option, but also a decision that supports local farmers. XAVIER BENAVENT
