Origin: Local
-
The Madras Thorn pods exterior resembles that of tamarind, but it easily peels away like the thin skin of a green bean. The edible flesh may then be separated from the seeds and eaten out-of-hand or prepared in sweet and savory dishes. The Madras Thorn is a spiny tree that grows up to 20 meters tall. It has an irregular spreading nature making it ideal for a perimeter hedge or living fence. The curvy and spiraled pods are greenish-brown to red or pinkish and 10-15 cm long x 1-2 cm wide. They are thin and flattened with approximately 10 seeds per pod. The pink, edible pulp of Madras Thorn is both sweet and savory, with flavors of chestnut and honey. It is the consistency of sticky popcorn, and mildly sour with a cleansing astringent quality on the palate. Fresh Madras Thorn is highly perishable, and the pinkish-white pulp will quickly oxidize once peeled.
-
A common Mexican beverage combines the pulp with orange juice, lemon juice, ginger, mint, and coconut water. A paste made from pulp, salt, and chili powder may be added to sauces, soups, stews, and stir-fries. The black seeds are also edible and may be roasted, peeled, and used in southern Indian curries. Madras Thorn compliments coconut, coconut water, lemon, orange, lime, pomegranate, sugar, ginger, mint, chili powder, and cocoa.
