Tamarind

Also known as the Indian date. Tamarind is available in whole pods, a compressed block, paste or concentrates and is most likely to be found in Asian markets.

Fresh can be stored at room tempera-ture, but should be used within a few days of purchase. Concentrate can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several months.

Tamarind is the fruit pod produced by a tall, semi-evergreen tree grown primarily in India. The beans and pulp within the pod are virtually no smell, but is has an extremely sour taste.

It is used as the equivalent to lemon juice in Indian cuisine, but is also in Asian cooking. It is often used to make chutneys, soups, bean dishes and is an ingredient in Worchesershire sauce.
