What it is

Tamarind is a tropical fruit that grows in a pod on the Tamarindus indica tree. The fruit pulp is tart and tangy, and it is often processed into a concentrate or paste for use in food.

Why it's used

Tamarind paste is used as a souring agent and flavor enhancer in many cuisines, particularly in Asia and Latin America. It adds a unique sweet-tart flavor to sauces, marinades, chutneys, and beverages.

Health notes

Tamarind is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and some B vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tamarind and its derivatives. Some studies suggest potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but more research is needed.

Allergen info

Tamarind is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
