Nutritional Benefits

Tamarind is a naturally fat-free fruit prized for its bold sweet-tart flavor. It is a source of dietary fiber and naturally contains minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Select-grade whole pods keep their sticky pulp intact, so you get full, fresh tamarind character in every batch.

Because it is plant-based and gluten-free, tamarind fits a wide range of menus and dietary needs.

How to Use

Crack the shells and remove the sticky pulp. Soak the pulp in hot water for 15–30 minutes to soften, then press through a sieve to separate the seeds and fibers. Use the resulting paste to build aguas frescas, candies, chutneys, and sauces.

Great across cuisines: Mexican agua de tamarindo and candy, Indian imli chutney and sambar, Thai tamarind sauces, and Middle Eastern marinades.
