East End Tamarind Fruit 400g

Description

What Makes East End Tamarind Fruit Unique?  

East End Tamarind Fruit 400g is a natural fruit block made from dried tamarind pulp. This 400g block has a deep brown colour, sticky texture, and strong sour taste. Unlike concentrates or pastes, this pure form of tamarind lets you control the flavour intensity.

The tamarind is hand-harvested, de-shelled, and gently dried before being pressed into blocks. This careful process preserves its tangy flavour and essential nutrients that often get lost in mass production.

Key Features:

• 100% natural tamarind fruit pulp
• No artificial preservatives, additives, or colouring
• Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
• Conveniently packed for long-lasting freshness
• Versatile ingredient for cooking, pickling, and drinks
• Free from added sugar or salt
• Sourced from sustainable tamarind plantations

Nutritional & Health Benefits of Tamarind

Tamarind is not just a flavour booster; it also has health benefits. It is high in vitamin C, antioxidants, magnesium, and potassium, which help with digestion, strengthen the immune system, and improve overall health.

Tamarind is low in fat and contains no cholesterol, making it a great choice for healthy eating. Its sour taste increases appetite and helps digestive enzymes work better, leading to easier digestion.

Top Health Benefits Include:

• Digestive aid: Tamarind is a traditional remedy for constipation and indigestion.
• Anti-inflammatory properties: The polyphenols in tamarind help reduce inflammation.
• Natural laxative: Promotes smoother bowel movements due to its high fibre content.
• Heart health: The fruit contains potassium and fibre, which are beneficial for maintaining blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
• Antioxidant support: Helps neutralise free radicals and may contribute to healthier skin.
• Weight management: Its fibre-rich nature can help you feel full for longer.

Culinary Uses: Tangy Versatility in Every Bite

East End Tamarind Fruit 400g is known for its versatility in cooking. You can use it in many international dishes:

In South Asian Cuisine:

• Add to sambar, rasam, or tamarind rice for that signature sour kick.
• Make imli chutney (sweet tamarind chutney) to pair with snacks like samosas and pakoras.
• Enrich curries, dals, and lentil soups with depth and zing.
• Use in chaats, pani puri, and bhel puri for street-style flavours.

In Caribbean Dishes:

Usage Tip:

Soak a piece of the block in warm water for 15-20 minutes. Mash it and then strain it to make your own tamarind concentrate. This method is simple and avoids using sauces with chemicals.
