THAI PICKLED TAMARIND 500G
Tamarind (Tamarindus
indica) is a leguminous tree bearing edible fruit that is indigenous
to tropical Africa. The genus Tamarindus is monotypic,
meaning that it contains only this species. It belongs to the family Fabaceae.
The
tamarind tree produces brown, pod-like fruits that contain a sweet,
tangy pulp, which is used in cuisines around the world. The pulp is also used
in traditional medicine and as a metal polish. The tree's wood
can be used for woodworking and tamarind seed oil can be
extracted from the seeds. Tamarind's tender young leaves are used
in Indian and Filipino cuisine. Because tamarind has multiple
uses, it is cultivated around the world in tropical and subtropical
zones.The fruit is an indehiscent legume, sometimes called a
pod, 12 to 15 cm (4+1⁄2 to 6 in) in length, with a hard,
brown shell.
Tamarind
seed oil is the oil made from the kernel of tamarind seeds. Thailand has the largest
plantations for the production of Tamarind.
