Organic Tamarind Pod - Unprocessed Fresh Whole Tamarind Pods

Description: A staple in Mexican and Southeast Asian cuisines, tamarindo lends a signature sweet and sour taste to dishes. Grown in Mexico, the tamarind pods contain a tangy brown pulp, which is often used to create a paste for cooking. The pod that the seed comes in is delicate and will come cracked or broken. Tamarind in Central and South America is often used to make desserts and aguas frescas or sweet tamarind beverages.The simplest way to enjoy tamarind is in the pod form. Break off the brown outer pod and remove the stringy part that looks like a small root wrapped around the pulp. You will be left with a long piece of pulp that has rock-hard seeds inside the size of large corn niblets. Cut it into sections and eat, nibble around the seeds, and spit them out.For cooking, it may be easier to purchase tamarind pulp or paste. It pairs very well with spices, such as curry, ginger, and red pepper, in sauces, marinades, and salad dressings.The sticky pulp of the brown pods has a sweet and sour flavor. It provides tang and acidity to entrees such as pad Thai and chutneys, desserts, beverages, syrups, sauces, and candy.To approximate the sweetness and tang tamarind brings to recipes, cooks sometimes substitute equal parts brown sugar and lime or lemon juice. But there's more to its flavor: Notes of caramel and molasses give tamarind more complexity, and its acidity is somewhat milder than that of lemon and lime and lacks the hints of bitterness found in citrus.* Some outer shell breakage may occur during handlingProducts are packed and heat-sealed into Poly Food Grade Bags to ensure the quality of your Herb/Spice/Tea selection.*Please note some bulk products ship in BULK BAGS.
