Imli Tamarind
🌿 Wild Organic Imli (Tamarind with Sea Salt)
Sun-Dried • Seedless • Naturally Preserved with Unrefined Sea Salt
Our Imli comes from wild coastal forests of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra and is tribal-harvested, certified organic Imli. It is a time-honored Indian kitchen essential, made the traditional way. Sourced from a trusted certified organic farmer, tamarind beans are carefully deseeded, pulped, sun-dried, and blended with unrefined sea salt to preserve their natural tang and nutrition without any artificial preservatives.
This is real tamarind, the way it used to be - earthy, potent, naturally preserved, and free from chemicals, concentrates, or added sugars.
🌞 Traditional Method, Modern Assurance
The tamarind is prepared using a low-intervention, traditional process:
- Hand-harvested from wild tamarind trees
- Deseeded and pulped manually
- Sun-dried for natural concentration of flavour
- Blended with unrefined sea salt to act as a natural preservative
This age-old technique not only preserves the tangy depth of tamarind but also ensures year-long shelf life without any chemical additives.
🍲 Culinary Versatility
Whether you're making imli chutney, sambhar, tamarind rice, rasam, or khatti-meethi dal, this wild organic Imli gives your dishes the authentic sour punch that only forest-grown tamarind can. Use as a base for:
- Tamarind Chutney & Street Food Sauces
- Rasam, Puliyodarai & Andhra Pulusu
- Fish Curries & Tamarind-Based Gravies
- Cooling Summer Drinks (like Imli Panna)
🌱 Wild & Organic Advantage
Most commercial tamarind available today is cultivated using synthetic fertilizers or comes as processed paste with additives. In contrast, wild tamarind from native trees has richer phytochemical content, including polyphenols, antioxidants, and organic acids that aid digestion, detoxification, and metabolic health.
🧂 What's Inside?
Only two real ingredients:
- Pulp of wild tamarind beans (certified organic)
- Unrefined sea salt (natural iodization, no bleaching)
🌟 Fun Fact
Tamarind trees can live for over 200 years, and wild tamarind from older trees tends to have more intense flavor and higher mineral content, making it not just a culinary staple, but also a heritage food with therapeutic value in Ayurveda.
