Tamarind

Tamarind scientifically known as Tamarindus indica is a tropical fruit tree native to Africa. The fruit grows in a dark brown pod that cracks with ease when mature. The texture of Tamarind is slightly chewy, gummy and sticky. The complex flavors of Tamarind range from sweet to sour with hints of flavors reminiscent of citrus and caramel. It is often used in many different dishes, drinks and even traditional medicines.

Ripening Guide:

Tamarind is ready to eat upon delivery. Crack open the shell to consume the tangy-sweet and sticky pulp that surrounds dark brown seeds. Seeds and shell are inedible.

What a treat! (Are they prone to bugs?)

Out of the thirty I’ve snacked on so far, I’ve had to toss out around 5 out of concern due to appearance! Whenever a tamarind’s shell is cracked, there seems to be evidence of something eating through a section of the tamarind, at least small holes of absess at least.

But the ones that had no cracks were totally fine and tasted sweet and strangely palpatable! An amazing first time buying and I’m grateful
