Tamarind

Unlike competitor products, Spectrum Fruits’ Tamarind concentrate is rigorously tested and meets U.S. FDA guidelines. Tamarind is indigenous to tropical Africa. Tamarind was transported to India and then to tropical Asia 5000 years ago. India is the largest producer of tamarind followed by Thailand and Mexico.

Tamarind pulp is a thick paste with sweet and acidic taste. Although largely recognized as a condiment, it is included in U.S. pharmacopeia. Tamarind is a laxative and helps improve digestion. Tamarind preparations are used against fevers, sore throat, rheumatism and inflammation.

Many competitor products aren’t compliant with FDA guidelines because insects may be found in their product. The sweet and sticky tamarind pulp can trap insects and insect parts if the manufacturer doesn’t have a thorough quality control process. At Spectrum Fruits, we take quality seriously and make sure that our tamarind products meet FDA criteria.
