The Chinese Tamarind and its Benefits

in #nature6 years ago
Chinese tamarind is a very nutritious fruit loaded with antioxidants, rich in fiber and vitamins, this exotic fruit is also known as sweet tamarind, carambola or star fruit.

Its fruit comes from a large tree that can reach up to 5 meters in height, and is presented in clusters in the branches and trunk, its flavor is bittersweet and is yellow (which indicates its maturity). It is originally from Indonesia, but we can also find it in countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Colombia, Paraguay, Brazil and Venezuela.

This fabulous fruit offers endless benefits such as:

• Elevates the body's defenses.

• It helps to decrease the cholesterol levels.

• Contains antioxidant properties that delay aging.

• It is rich in fiber, which favors intestinal transit.

• Contains vitamins and minerals that help us cope with various ailments.

• Relieves constipation thanks to its contribution of soluble fiber which works as a laxative.

In addition to being very tasty your consumption also helps us in the diet to lose weight thanks to its high content of potassium which makes it a diuretic fruit.
