The Story

Bio Basics tamarind comes from three sources , most of it from the forest of Anaikatti where tribal folks are allowed to harvest this as minor forest produce. This provides livelihoods in an area where no farming activity can be carried out due to wild animal encroachment into their lands. They harvest, dry, and manually clean, and de-seed it and send it to Bio Basics.
We also get our tamarind from the organic land of our founders in Pollachi. A third source is from the organic paddy farm in Palakkad where our Uma rice grows.
All these tamarinds are separately collected and not mixed up and processed in small batches. Therefore the consistency of the tamarind you get will be even across the batch.
The tamarind is harvested once a year around January /February and the newly harvested tamarind is reddish in colour. As the tamarind starts ageing it becomes darker and becomes almost black by the end of the year.
Traditionally aged tamarind is preferred in the south, however, there are also many people who like the fresh tamarind for its lighter colour.

Storage

How to Cook

Soak, squeeze, filter and use the tamarind syrup in your sabjis, rasams, spreads, drinks ....
