What it is

Tamarind juice concentrate is a thick, dark liquid made from the pulp of the tamarind fruit, which grows on trees in tropical regions. The pulp is soaked in water, strained, and then reduced to a concentrated form, often with added sugar.

Why it's used

It is used as a souring agent and flavor enhancer in a variety of dishes, particularly in Asian and Latin American cuisines. Manufacturers add it to sauces, marinades, chutneys, and beverages to provide a distinct tangy and fruity taste.

Health notes

Tamarind is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. JECFA has evaluated tamarind and found no safety concerns. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming tamarind at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Tamarind is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
