It is an evergreen tropical tree originating in Africa, which gives very juicy and delicious fruits, reminiscent of a combination of dry fig, scallop, and warm. Freshly picked can be stored for up to a year, not losing even the freshness and taste. The trunk is very large, with long heavy lowered branches and thick leaves, which resemble mimosa.

Tamarind contains certain health elements such as minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber. A hundred grams of fruit contains 5.1 grams of cellulose or over 13 percent dietary fiber. Dietary fibers in food increase their mass and increase bowel discharge and thus prevent the appearance of a stiff capital. The fibers bind toxins from the food and thus protect the membrane and the mucous membrane of the colon. Additionally, cellulose fibers bind to bile salts (produced by cholesterol) and reduce their re-absorption in the intestine, thereby helping to excrete “bad” or LDL cholesterol from the body.
