Tamarind Fruit

Tamarind, (Tamarindus indica) is native to tropical Africa and India. It is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible fruit, the sweet and sour pulp of which is extensively used in foods, beverages, and traditional medicines. The plant is especially popular in the Indian subcontinent and in Central America and Mexico and is a common ingredient in the cuisine of those regions.

Different Forms of Tamarind we offer:

Tamarind is available in prepared forms, such as candy and sweetened syrup.

You can also find the pure fruit in three main forms:

• Raw pods: These pods are the least processed form of tamarind. They’re still intact and can be easily opened to remove the pulp.
• Pressed block:: To make these, the shell and seeds are removed and the pulp is compressed into a block. These blocks are one step away from raw tamarind.
• Concentrate:: Tamarind concentrate is pulp that has been boiled down. Preservatives may also be added

In India, Tamarind is widely used in preparation of dishes, curries, sauces and many more and adds a tongue tickling tangy flavour to the foods in which it is added.
