ID 259750671 © Mickem | Megapixl.com
The pod of a tropical tree containing seeds in an acidic, sticky pulp that is used to flavor a variety of foods.A tamarind tree is very large up to 100 feet tall and grows very slowly. It is native to Africa but grows well in any tropical climate. It bears fruits that are around 6 inches in length and look like a large, curved bean pod. Young tamarind fruit has a pliable brown skin and the inside greenish with whitish seeds. As the fruit matures the greenish insides turn brown and the pod becomes more bulbous. As the fruit dries out, the pod becomes stiff and brittle, the insides become pasty and the seeds turn brown.Jalisco, Guerrero, Colima, Chiapas, and Veracruz are the top tamarind producers in Mexico.
