Hi Friends,

"Draw a Manila Tamarind"

I will put my creativity to the test by participating in the "Weekly Drawing Contest || Week-33 || Draw a Manila Tamarind". Since it is impossible to find a Manila Tamarind in Sri Lanka, So I decided to get an image online.

Do you know about Manila Tamarind?

The Manila tamarind, pre-Latin name Pithecellobium dulce, is an exotic fruit that may be new to us. The Manila tamarind is often described as an exquisite fruit with a stick-like appearance and many colours (mainly red and white). This tree has names in different regions of the people, Manila tamarind, Madras thorn, and Ganga Imli are also commonly used names.

Can this fruit be found in Sri Lanka?

Manila tamarind is not a recognized fruit in Sri Lanka. This crop is not in our country because our climatic, environmental and nutritional requirements are different. But these trees grow in large numbers in countries like India, Malaysia, and Mexico. Hence, it is difficult for us to see and obtain Manila Tamarind in Sri Lanka.

Did you enjoy this fruit?

Since we don't have manila tamarind in our country, I haven't used this. But those who have used Manila tamarind in foreign countries describe it as a delicious and fake fruit. It has a strange, tingly and unpalatable taste, perhaps our traditional sour-smelling fruit.

What is the price of this fruit?

The price of Manila tamarind fruit can vary greatly depending on the region, quality, and supply of the fruit, if any. In foreign countries, this fruit costs between $3.00 - $6.00 for 1kg. If this is calculated in Sri Lanka currency, only Rs. Varies between 1000 - 2000.
