Origin of the seed: We obtained the first seeds I acquired this tiger nut from an unknown seed company at the Montreal Seed Festival in 2013. Marie-Anne has preserved the seeds over the years, passing through the Outaouais and Gaspé regions. The seeds sold represent the 9th generation since I acquired them.
