What is Tamarind?
Tamarind (TAM-uh-rihnd) is the fruit pod of a tree native to northern Africa and Asia and widely cultivated India. Technically, tamarind pods are classified as legumes, meaning they're distant relatives of peanuts. Each pod is filled with seeds and sticky, dark brown, sweet-sour pulp. The pulp is typically turned into tamarind paste, tamarind juice and tamarind concentrate. Tamarind is a popular flavoring in Middle Eastern and East Indian food much like lemon juice is used in Western cooking. As well, tamarind is common in Mexican and Southeast Asian cuisines.
What Does Tamarind Taste Like?
Under-ripe tamarind is mouth-puckeringly sour and needs to be cooked or pickled to eat. It’s typically cut from the seeds and used as an ingredient in Indian pickles, the salty-oily condiment served with every meal in India.
Ripe tamarind flesh tastes a bit like a mixture of lemons, apricots and dates. It’s certainly sweeter than the under-ripe version, but has a touch of sour flavor thanks to tartaric acid, a naturally occurring acid in grapes, apples, peaches, pineapples, citrus and a variety of other fruits.

How Is Tamarind Used?
In general, tamarind is used in boldly flavored dishes. The most common use for tamarind in the U.S. is in the noodle dish Pad Thai. It's also an important ingredient in Worcestershire sauce. Many fusion recipes lean on tamarind as a marinade for meats and fishes because the tartaric acid in the ingredient is a powerful tenderizer. Indian cuisine uses tamarind in chutneys, curries and pickles. Tamarind is also turned into different types of sweet syrups that flavors sodas, cocktails and iced teas.
