Also known as an Indian date, the tamarind is the fruit of a tall shade tree native to Asia and Northern Africa and widely grown in India. The large (about 5 inches long) pods contain small seeds and a sour-sweet pulp that, when dried, becomes extremely sour. Tamarind pulp concentrate is popular as a flavoring in East Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, much like lemon juice is in Western culture. [www.QinSen.com]
