## Description
The velvet tamarind is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. These are small, typically grape-sized edible fruits with brown hard inedible shells.

They are harvested during the months of January to April. Locally called 'Keranji' they have a powdery texture and sour taste and are believed to lower the level of cholesterol in the body.

Being a very delicate and prized product, we at GVI have a dedicated, skilled team to bring only the most genuine produce.
