Understanding the price

What affects the tamarind price?

Tamarind — imli, puli — is the tangy pod pulp used across South and Central Indian cooking. It is grown widely in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Central India, and is traded both with seed and as cleaned, deseeded pulp, with the deseeded form commanding a clear premium.

What is the tamarind (imli) price today in India?

The figure above is the latest source-verified wholesale rate per kilogram. Note that deseeded pulp trades above whole tamarind with seed.

Why is deseeded tamarind more expensive?

Removing seeds and fibre adds processing and reduces usable weight, so cleaned pulp costs more than whole pods with seed.
