Native of Natural presents its Pure & Natural Dehydrated Tamarind Kernel Powder (Tamarindus indica), derived from the seeds (kernels) of the tamarind fruit. Unlike Tamarind Fruit Pulp Powder, this ingredient is primarily valued not for its flavor but for its high content of polysaccharides, specifically a galactoxyloglucan gum. This natural polysaccharide makes the kernel powder an excellent hydrocolloid (thickener, stabilizer, and binder) used extensively in the food, textile, and pharmaceutical industries. Our powder is produced from cleaned and processed tamarind kernels, which are carefully dehydrated, toasted, and finely milled. The final product is 100% pure, natural, and free from synthetic additives, fillers, or contaminants, providing a highly functional and economical thickening agent.
