From tangy soups to sweet chutneys to juices and sodas, tamarind is a versatile ingredient used to enhance flavor in both sweet and savory dishes. The fruit comes from the tamarind tree and is encased in seed pods. It has a date-like texture and is crushed to make tamarind paste or a less diluted tamarind concentrate. The fruit can also be extracted from fresh pods or purchased in chunks. It is a culinary staple in the Caribbean, India, Thailand, and Mexico.
