Tamarind

Tamarind is a tropical fruit that comes from the tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica). Tamarind pods contain a brown, sticky pulp that surrounds the seeds. The pulp is extracted for culinary use. Tamarind has a unique sweet and sour flavour, which adds a tangy and tart taste to dishes. Tamarind is rich in antioxidants and contains vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, and magnesium. It is also believed to aid digestion.
