Detailed Product Description

Description: The large pods contain small seeds and a sour-sweet pulp, that when dried, becomes extremely sour. Tamarind pulp concentrate is popular as a flavouring agent in East Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines, much like lemon juice is in Western culture. It seasons full-flavoured foods such as chutneys, curry dishes, and pickled fish. It is an important ingredient in Thai cooking, and is available as a bottled puree, crystals or a pulpy solid that has to be soaked, kneaded and seeded.
