What is Tamarind?

Fresh Tamarind

Fresh Tamarind

Dear Day,

I was at your restaurant a few days ago. I had the Tamarind Duck, which was delicious! I figured that the sauce must be made of tamarind. What is tamarind?

Chef Day answers:

Tamarind is a tree that bears tamarind fruits.  When the pod is ripe, the shell becomes brittle.   Inside the pod there is a dark brown pulp with a sweet-sour flavor.  There are different kinds of tamarind, ranging from very sweet to sweet and sour to very sour.  The pulp of the sour tamarind is used widely in Thai cooking, instead of vinegar,  to provide a sour flavor.  Using sour tamarind in cooking gives the food a natural slightly sweet flavor, so less sugar is required when cooking a dish with sweet and sour flavors.
