message: Someone list sources that indicate any "ancient importation" of tamarind into India from africa or stop plagiarising/editing. oh yeah also list some reputable sources that clearly state africa as an origin rather than india.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:DE0:2F98:3125:3777:75E5:243 (talk) 07:45, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

message: Could this stub be developed into a full article? Surely there is more to tamarinds than that? What genus does it belong to, what flowers, what fruit, what wood? Dieter Simon 21:18 30 May 2003 (UTC)
More to Tamarind - yes, as a food - what is it's nutritional composition?

replies: text: This page seriously needs to be cleaned up.  It is tacky to include how a tamarind is called in every tongue on Earth.  The grammar is often incorrect and the sentence structure is a bit too simple at times.  I feel like I'm reading the Simple English Wikipedia. Davidleeroth 19:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is tamarind sold (American supermarket) in bricks with the fruit pulp and the fibrous husks all crushed together?
My thought was that the bricks are boiled to extract the fruit, but wouldn’t make sense to do  this commercially unless some of the medicinal properties are in the husks? 
Surely the importers or growers must know.
I bought one just to experiment.

message: Could someone please add nutritional information to this article?
I just had some of those Thai tamarinds & they seemed *very* sweet indeed, so I suppose they have a lot of sugar.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.114.189 (talk) 23:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why the cleanup tag? 

message: "Drank" is not the past particple of "to drink", whatever dictionary.com say, "drunk" is. The sentence referred to "when drunk" is curtailed "when it is drunk", which is the correct p.p. All the dictionaries I have consulted, including Wiktionary say so. You have found the one non-standard usage dictionary.com have not detected.

replies: text: The pods vary greatly in size, from as small as 6 cm to larger than 15 cm. The inner soft edible part (which surrounds the seed) varies less in size, with the seed still in place, each one is usually about 2 cm across. But that is from my own experience in the West Indies; I do not have a source for that. Invertzoo (talk) 20:07, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The dimensions of a median-sized tamarind fruit 

message: If Tamarind means "the date of the Hindustani's" then is there a connection with actual dates?  Does anyone know?  I always believed that Tamarind was made from dates until I read this article
:No relation at all. The trees aren’t even in the same taxonomic order. Strebe (talk) 01:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a few rather slight similarities: the edible part is soft and brown, delicious and at least partly sweet, and the tree grows wild in the right areas. Invertzoo (talk) 20:10, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Tamarind isn’t native to the Philippines. The word also shouldn’t be capitalized. There’s also no clear reason why the Philippines should be mentioned at all in that photo. I’m fixing this, in the absence of any theory for why the caption makes sense. Strebe (talk) 01:39, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Can someone please add those links, I don't know how to do it. And one should also look for other language-versions of the article that aren't linked yet.--Qexilber (talk) 07:04, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

would like to submit Tamarind as a registered given female name, purely as a Wikipedia entry of vanity.

message: In the oil nutrition section, the text "bleached after refining." jumps from below its table to above the table named "Fatty acid composition of tamarind kernel oil".

message: Given that Tamarind is a legume, is it known to cause flatulence?  If it does, it would be good to include this in the article.   FreeFlow99 (talk) 16:56, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flatulence 

message: The article states:
"The treatment of tamarind leaves on liver HepG2 cells significantly regulated the expression of genes and proteins involved with consequential impact on the coagulation system, cholesterol biosynthesis, xenobiotic metabolism signaling and antimicrobial response."
It is not helpful to say that something "impacts" without indicating what the impact is.  Can the impacts be included?  FreeFlow99 (talk) 17:01, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

message: In the southwest USA, Tamarind is found in Mexican owned fruit & vegetable stands & in Filipino markets but NO one in italy or the rest of Europe remotely use it.

thread_title:  Tamarind is unheard of in Europe (Italy) 

message: In the USA, sweet tamarind is typically found in East Asian (Oriental) markets while sour tamarind is typically found in Latin American markets.  Likewise, we find East Asian culinary recipes requiring sweet tamarind and Latin American culinary recipes requiring sour tamarind.    Hence, we have a clear distinction between sweet and sour tamarind in these two cultures and I think, for most readers, this distinction is likely to be clarifying and helpful if reflected across all sections of this article.
