Sweet Tamarind

Tamarind is a tropical fruit that is utilised in many different cuisines all over the globe. The pulp is also used as a flavouring agent in cooking and in traditional medicine. When completely mature, the bean-shaped thick shell has a dark or reddish brown sticky pulp. The sticky acidic pulp inside the tamarind's dark, crescent-shaped pods is scraped from around the seed, which is abundant in tartaric acid, sugar, B vitamins, and calcium, all of which are uncommon for a fruit, and offers a tart, sweet, or sour flavour to foods and beverages.

STORAGE

Whole pods should be kept in a cool, dark location at room temperature. After opening, keep pods firmly wrapped or sealed in the refrigerator for at least three months. With a sharp, hefty knife, cut off the quantity you intend to utilise. Unsweetened tamarind pulp may be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for an adequate amount of time.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Tamarind is one of the most effective and simple ways to treat the common cold. Tamarind soup helps to flush out any toxins from the body, removing any nasal and throat congestion. Tamarind pulp is also an excellent fever reducer. To lower the temperature, drink 15g of tamarind. This infusion is quite efficient against the virus that causes fever.
