The edible part (pulp) of Tamarindus indica L fruit is relatively poor in protein (87.9 g kg−1) and oil (25.3 g kg−1) but the seed is a good source of both (269.3 g kg−1 protein and 109.1 g kg−1 lipid). Both the pulp and seed are good sources of calcium, and the seed of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. Low levels of phytic acid and heat‐labile trypsin inhibitors are present.
