It’s firm, crisp and very sour, with a fresh, tangy flavor that ripe tamarind doesn’t have. Green tamarind is a staple in South Indian, Southeast Asian and Latin American kitchens, and it’s hard to find fresh in the US. That’s why we grow it right here in Homestead, Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intensely sour, bright and tangy, with a crisp texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePopular uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChintakaya Pachadi \/ Thokku:\u003c\/strong\u003e the classic Andhra green tamarind chutney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickles (achar) and spicy relishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdded to dal, sambar, rasam and curries for fresh sourness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEaten raw with salt and chili powder as a snack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed in Thai and Southeast Asian salads and dipping sauces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNutrition:\u003c\/strong\u003e A good source of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refrigerate in a paper or perforated bag and use within 1–2 weeks.
