1     Velvet Tamarind Fruit                                                  

       Velvet Tamarind - dialium indum 

       Velvet tamarind is known for the small edible fruits, usually the size of grapes. The brown shells are very hard and must be discarded. Other name - Tamarind Plum.

       This tall tree is found in various tropical climates.  It belongs to the family Leguminosae, and has small, typically grape-sized edible fruits with brown hard inedible shells.

        The velvet tamarind fruit has a flavour similar to a regular tamarind and the fruit is actually sweeter than a tamarind but sour at the same time. It has a resilient shell and the flesh is dry, almost like a powder. Drying the fruit fully turns the content of the hard shell into an orange powder with a strong flavour. Inside every fruit there is a single round and flat seed, about 7-8 mm in diameter and 3 mm thick.
