The black tigernut is real speciality for carps because it’s sweeter than the normal tigernut and the oil content is also higher. There’s another advantage compared to the normal tigernut. You can mislead, the shiest and most experienced carps, because of its dark colour is similar to the ground so fishes identify it as a natural feed.
Selected: seed size is approx. 10-15mm
Suggestion: Put 200-300g/kg sugar or 1-2g/kg Sweetener to the tigernut and cover it with water. Let it suck the sweet water about 24 hours and then cook it at least 20-30 minutes. 2-3 days after the cooking a gelatinous material is formed around the seeds. This gel is very attractive for carps and this makes it irresistible for fishes. Very good carp or grass carp feed.
