ZWT7 South & Central America. You may use this on toasted bread with butter which tastes very good says the poster at http://www.coffeeandvanilla.com. The tamarinds of India have longer pods containing 6-12 seeds, whereas African and West Indian versions have short pods containing 1-6 seeds. Fruit of the South American tamarinds are identical to the original African variant.
