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.

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.
