What is Spray Dried Tamarind Powder?
Spray dried tamarind powder is a concentrated and convenient form of tamarind, produced by atomizing liquid tamarind concentrate into a hot drying chamber. The rapid evaporation of water leaves behind a fine, consistent powder that encapsulates the distinctive sour and fruity notes of fresh tamarind. This innovative process provides an excellent alternative to traditional tamarind paste or pulp, eliminating the need for soaking, de-seeding, and straining, while significantly extending shelf life and reducing storage complexities.
