A truly Filipino treat. Comes from the tamarind tree. The fresh "fruit" is mixed with brown sugar over heat, then sprinkled with salt.It's a sweet, sour, and salty taste all mixed into one. Mouth watering yet?

before, i used to like & enjoy this sampaloc treat not until i found out how the processing goes. they say, what u don't know or see won't hurt you, it's true, but as i chew on the sweet-salty flesh, the idea keeps on refreshing. WHY? i am already aware of what's responsible for the mouth-watering taste hehe..
..i still eat..if i really cant help it =)

matamis siya nick. don't know how they process it but it's still in the pod/shell when you buy it.
en, oh yeah. my sister told me how it was processed. so i don't eat much sampaloc these days (well it also causes my hyperacidity anyway :)

Hello En and Cherry! Well, yung sampaloc na nasa photo, sa office yun at kilala namin kung saan nanggaling so ok sa amin.
Maraming food ang dumadaan sa di kanais-nais na paraan, tulad nung sumikat noon na maanghang na fish cracker. Kaya kapag nakita mo, yikes. easy lang ha. harharhar

tama kayo, pero oks lang..it's not really healthy to be super clean all the time =) we have to take in a few bad bacteria to keep the natural flora working di ba? ;)
