Fresh Tamarind
Do you know the origin of the Tamarind fruit?
I did some research on the web, here are my finding: One article claims that the fruit was well known to the ancient Egyptians and to the Greeks in the 4th Century B.C.
In another article states that the fruit grows from a very large tree that grows up to 100ft in its native Africa.
I also read that it is grown in India, Mexico and Central America.
It has an outter shell that has to be peeled. If you place it in your mouth, be careful of the pearl like seeds. Don't swallow them. The tamarind fruit itself has a tart, yet sweet taste with a prune/raisin texture and taste in my opinion..
What's the health benefits?
tamarind have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These can protect against diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The seed extract may also help lower blood sugar, while the pulp extract may help you lose body weight and reverse fatty liver disease
