Tamarinds are slow-growing, long-lived, evergreen trees which have 3
- 8 inch long, brown, irregularly curved pods in abundance along the new
branches. As the pods mature, they fill out somewhat and the juicy,
acidulous pulp turns brown or reddish-brown. When fully ripe, the shells are
brittle and easily broken. The pulp dehydrates to a sticky paste enclosed by
a few coarse stands of fiber .The pods contains flat, glossy brown, obovate
seeds embedded in the brown, edible pulp.
