Story : José María Bou Casares (1912-1993) was founder of the family tradition of selling Tiger Nuts. Around the mid-nineteenth century they were grown in family plots and sold at the Mercado de Abastos in Valencia. Tiger Nuts were purchased to eat or to make horchata.

Beginning with the twentieth century and its economic growth, the first horchata shops appeared in the big cities of Spain.
In April, 1945, a field of Tiger Nuts was sown, then harvested and dried, stirring them daily until they reached a perfect state of curing. These items were taken to Barcelona, where, in spite of not knowing anyone, they were sold out in less than a week thanks to their quality. The good reputation of the brand among artisans gradually increased the volume of sales.
In 1995 JB Natural Foods, S.L. was created as a company to internationally market our different varieties of Tiger Nuts and their by-products.
We currently enjoy the highest prestige due to our quality and count the most reknowned artesans and industries among our customers.
