Description: 100% Pure Natural Organic TAMARIND from Sri Lanka Tamarind pods come from the tamarind tree, which originated in Africa and now grows in many tropical regions. Tamarind is used in Asian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, and South American cuisines. The sticky pulp of the brown pods has a sweet and sour flavour. It provides tang and acidity to entrees such as pad Thai and chutneys, desserts, beverages, syrups, sauces, and candy. It is a hypoglycemic fruit and contains many beneficial micronutrients, making it a nutritious whole food ingredient.

Health Benefits Tamarind is a traditional medicine remedy with a long list of uses, including the treatment of sore throats, constipation, and sunstroke. Tamarind may help lower cholesterol and blood sugar, but no research on humans is available. However, some evidence exists for other health benefits. Fights Inflammation Tamarind contains polyphony, antioxidants that may help control inflammation in the body. Relieves Pain While eating tamarind pulp alone does not offer pain relief, there is evidence that extracts made from many parts of the plant might help with the pain. May Support Heart Health Thanks to its polyphenol, flavoring, and antioxidant properties, tamarind may help support heart health by preventing oxidative damage caused by LDL cholesterol. May Improve Liver Function One of the tamarind fruit's lesser-known potential health benefits is its ability to improve the function of the liver. May Help Fight Cancer Tamarind's antioxidant properties to helping fight cancer, specifically renal cell carcinoma. A 2012 study used the fruit's seed extract and found that its polyphenol compounds both decreased the progress of cancer and helped prevent it. Allergies Tamarind is a legume and some people will experience an allergic reaction to it. However, if you are allergic to another legume (such as soy), this does not mean that you will also be allergic to tamarind or other legumes. When It's Best As the fruit ripens, it becomes less sour and sweeter while the pulp dehydrates slightly and goes from green (unripe) to brown. The pods are easiest to open when the fruit is fully ripe as they become more brittle. Storage and Food Safety Store whole tamarind fruit at room temperature and out of direct sunlight or heat. To keep your tamarind fruit and pulp fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator once opened. For cooking, it may be easier to purchase tamarind pulp or paste. It pairs very well with spices, such as curry, ginger, and red pepper, in sauces, marinades, and salad dressings.
