Hydro nut is a good one, as is Cell activator. Hydro wheat/ corn etc would also work

Tigernut flour is a poor ingredient

Surprised you say that Joss, isn't Poachers TnM one of your all time favourite baits? Flour/ meal...it's just the same thing ground down to different levels, is it not? TnM has 50%+ tigernut if I'm not wrong? Ground in house, granted, but still the same thing?

no mate, the flour goes through a heat treatment process of which can render the product bitter.

Poachers dont use the flour in the TnM

I have used the flour and the meal, if anything I prefer the flour although I do suspect what ever treatment it has makes it into a shelf life product as boilies I have made when using a good proportion of the flour have ended up as short term shelf life, I know all the other ingredients didn't cause this so must have been the tiger nut flour

Is the heat treatment done to prevent even more Oil oxidation within ?
