Do you know that this tamarind, which is most common in the South Asian region, is very valuable as a fruit and flavouring? Sometimes this is a very tasty fruit. At other times, it also acts as a flavouring agent. This tamarind is common in the dry zone of my country.

@Nmmi670 Why have I not tried them? They aren't sold at my stores.

I have seen tamarind trees in North Africa, it does not grow in our country.

In my country, my village grows a lot of tamarind. They are very tasty. It tastes amazing when mixed with sugar. I'll give you some if you like it. I will bring the details to my friends

we can find it easily in Indonesia, but only certain areas can plant it.

@Nmmi670 we use it so that there is a sour taste in food we cooked.

Interesting - the ones I see in the market here are much longer than the ones in your photo! I love the taste of tamarind, but I don't use it in my cooking (if I do, I use the premade paste). I love peeling and eating them just like that.

@Nmmi670 That is amazing!! I don't know what the laws are about sending produce here though. How lovely to have them fresh!

@much2say Take a look at what laws affect you when sending. If there is no problem I can send it.

I have seen this fruit on a few television shows. I would have to go online to see if I could buy any. It is not sold where I live.
