Raw Whole Tamarind Pods (with Shell)

These are the most natural and unprocessed form of tamarind. The pods are long, brown, and brittle, encasing the sticky, fibrous fruit pulp inside along with seeds. The outer shell is typically dry and must be cracked open to access the pulp. This form retains the fruit’s original flavour profile and is often preferred by traditional cooks and those looking for an authentic, whole-food ingredient. It requires soaking and straining to separate the pulp from seeds and fibres
