Tamarind

Originating from East Africa, the Tamarind has gradually spread across the semi-arid and tropical regions of the world. Its magnificent leafy branches offer the perfect shady spot for siestas or for discussions between local wise men, hence its reputation as a sacred tree in certain regions of Africa. In the culinary field, the tangy pulp contained in the brown pod of the tamarind fruit is used to make refreshing drinks.
