Tamarind - Roby Jose Ciju
Tamarind: An Introduction
The word ‘tamarind’ has two words, ‘tamar’ and ‘ind’. Tamar
is an Arabic word means ‘date’ and "ind’ is a hindi word means ‘India’. Hence tamarind is popularly known as ‘the Indian Date’. Tamarind is mainly grown for its edible fruit.
Scientific name of tamarind is Tamarindus indica (syns. T. occidentalis and T. officinalis). It belongs to the family Leguminosae (syns. Fabaceae or Caesalpinioideae). This leguminous tree is tropical in growth habit with a preference for dry semiarid climate. It is mainly grown for its pod-shaped edible fruits and tender leaves which are used as vegetables. Tamarind has some medicinal values as well. Tamarind wood may be used for timber and carpentry purposes. Some of the common names of tamarind are Tamr Hindi, Indian Date, Dakkar, Tamarindo, Tamarin, and Sampalok.
Tamarind should not be confused with Malabar Tamarind
and Manila Tamarind
. Malabar tamarind is Garcinina cambogia while Manila tamarind is Pithecellobium dulce.
