   Tamarind is one of those exotic products you've heard about over and over on the new "fad diets" that come out, and it always sounds so fascinating, I just haven't found a good way to use it yet!! I'm glad I stumbled across this article though, because all of these recipes look really good, and I'm surprised how many different things you can make with it!!

   Tamarind water is pretty famous not just in MExico but other countries that consume it as well, but I am more interested in other recipe, the one of tamarind syrup as making a syrup can help you to avoid the use of sugar in the preparations like shakes or even bakery

   I have heard that tamarind is really important in the mexican culture and food and I'm really interested on that. It's good to know some delicious dishes to prepare with a fruit that we don't eat very often. It's always good to add wen thing to the menu.
