036 Wild Tamarind.jpg

In certain forest regions in Tamil Nadu, tribals have been growing tamarind trees for over 50 years. This is honey made by the wild bees, Apis dorsata, from the blossoms of these tamarind trees and the ones growing wild around it. It has a distinctive sweet sour yet smoky flavor. The tribals collect this particular variant of honey every year to give their kids and conceived women as its best known to aid in digestion and also good for stomach aches. Apis Dorsata honey also has the effect of increasing bone strength and has higher amount of enzymes, amino acids and mineral contents than that produced by Apis cerana and Apis mellifera species of honeybee. Tamarind plant is used for various medicinal purposes. It’s used for gastric problems, digestion problems, cardio protective activity, a mild laxative, to treat bilious disorders, to lower cholesterol levels, for a healthy heart, for vitamin C deficiency, and as a blood purifier. To some extent these properties also pass on to the honey from it. It also has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, and is rich in antioxidants.
