It is a pulp being kept for drying a little in the sun.

Evert...have you ever tasted tamarindo?

In Mexico it is used to make a beverage, and all types of candy, plus to flavor other meats and dishes. Also in Asia.

Tamarind is an important flavouring agent in our daily food. The older it is the better. Due to its acidity, insects do not attack this during storage. I think it can be kept for about a year. The brown thing becomes blackish.

Mitjo, it will take many years for it to give you fruit. Here in Mysore, there are many road side trees and when the raw fruit is found, the kids throw stones at them and eat them. They like the sour taste.
