Buy Raw Tamarind (Tamarindus indica)
Raw Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a versatile and globally beloved fruit with a well-established international market. Indigenous to tropical Africa, the tamarind tree produces sausage-like pods with a sticky, acidulous brown pulp that is simultaneously the most acid and the sweetest fruit .
The fruit is harvested by pulling the pod from its stalk . Each pod contains a soft, fibrous pulp surrounding dark brown angular seeds. The pulp is rich in tartaric acid, which gives tamarind its characteristic tartness, balanced by natural sugars .
Sourced from the forests and farmlands of Cameroon, our Raw Tamarind is carefully harvested and processed to preserve its authentic flavor and nutritional properties. The pulp is an excellent source of vitamin B (thiamine and niacin) as well as a small amount of carotene and vitamin C .
In Ghana, the fruit when eaten raw helps relieve constipation and other stomach pains, stimulating the activity of the bile and aiding in faster digestion . The tamarind tree plays a major role in traditional medicine across West Africa .
