About Candies, Tamarind
Tamarind candies are made from the concentrated pulp of the tamarind pod, which has a naturally intense sour-sweet-funky flavor profile unlike most fruit-based confections. In candy form, sugar is added heavily to balance the acidity, making the carbohydrate content almost entirely sugar. There's no fat and almost no protein. A small amount of fiber from the fruit pulp survives processing. Tamarind candy is popular across Latin American, South Asian, and Southeast Asian markets and tends to be quite tart and complex compared to typical American gummy candy. The flavor is polarizing but distinctive.
