Description:
Tart Tamarind Fruit Tree is a unique tropical fruit tree that is native to Thailand. It has an elongated shape and pinkish-orange skin. Inside the tart, juicy flesh there are small black seeds that have a distinct tamarind flavor. The tart tamarind can be eaten fresh or used in recipes such as curries, salads, salsas, sauces, drinks and even ice cream. It can also be dried and used as a seasoning, which is popular in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. Tart tamarind fruit trees grow best in warm climates with full sun exposure. The tree needs to be regularly watered during the growing season and kept away from frosty temperatures. Pruning may be necessary to keep the tree healthy. With proper care, this tropical fruit tree can bring many years of sweet and tart flavor to your kitchen! 

Tart tamarind is also known as Makham Wan in Thailand, ma-kharm or ma-khaam in Laos, sampalok in the Philippines, and imli or chinch in India. The tart tamarind has a wide range of health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants, and helps to lower blood pressure, support digestion, reduce inflammation, and act as an anti-aging agent. The high levels of fiber help promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. Eating tart tamarind can also boost the immune system and keep skin looking younger and healthier. 

This versatile fruit can be used in a variety of ways. The sweet-sour pulp can be eaten fresh or cooked into jams, chutneys, and sauces. It is also a popular ingredient in Thai dishes such as sour curry and tamarind soup. In India it is used to make the popular drink imli ka paani (tamarind water). The tart tamarind pod can also be ground into a powder and used as a spice in many dishes.
