The new acid, tamarin, which according to the Migros newspaper is being hyped and 2020 will be the year of the tamarind. Does a fruit or vegetable always have to be imported from abroad? Thailand, India, Mexico, etc. We have enough new vegetables and fruits in Europe that have been rediscovered from "old" times. They are just as tasty, valuable, healthy and delicious. Why not try something local in 2021? Turmeric, ginger, tamarind...... doesn't have to be.
It's all a matter of opinion and taste. I really like tamarind and would be happy to be able to buy it in Migros.
How about "really tasty" potatoes? So not the txpic varieties. Triplets are really tasty waxy ones. Or really old varieties that are becoming less and less common? I'm sad about the dwindling biodiversity of "normal" fruits/vegetables. Why all these genetically modified varieties? Just really old ones that would be a hit. Corn is also like that, thanks to Monsanto there is hardly any variety left. Always the same varieties that don't really "TASTE" more like well what the heck do I just eat it...

Tamarind has nothing to do with fruit or vegetables.

This doesn't really fit into this topic, but I agree with you. It would be nice if we had more old, tastier varieties of fruit/vegetables again. For example, potatoes in Ireland taste much more "potato-y". Some are also much easier to peel, which is not so important to me, but just an example of why they are different. Or tomatoes don't have to be bright red for me, but rather tasty.
You expect a wholesaler not to continue to have varieties that grow quickly, are high-yielding and robust? For maximum profit? Isn't that far from reality? At least for the price you want to pay, hand on heart.↵↵But you can find exactly these varieties, crooked and non-standardized, the ones with taste, in small farm stores, at weekly markets or even online. Tomatoes that you bite into and taste the strong aroma as if it were sugo. Potatoes, so delicious that a little salt and a flake of butter is enough to make you happy when you eat them. Fruit, old forgotten varieties from standard trees, of which you don't even know the variety name anymore...↵↵Of course you have to go to the farm once a week in your own store, but the prices are usually lower than in the stores because they sell directly. I'd like to encourage you to just track down a few stores like this (you can't even find them on Google).it's really worth it😃↵↵...because I've given up trying to find anything like this in Migros 😑
Yes, I know a few... And just as an example, the triplets look very appealing, round and are very similar to raclette potatoes. And I can see how more and more small farmers with biodiversity are disappearing. They grow what Migros / Coop etc. buy, which is an incredible shame. There are fewer and fewer small farms. The small cheese dairies are disappearing, and once they are gone, the small farmers will also change a lot.
Tamarind is not a vegetable or fruit to bite into, but a seasoning, like pepper curry paprika powder.... I think seasonal regional produce is always good, but seriously, who can say they don't use exotic spices? Even the plain lemon that I would compare tamarind with is not from here...
Tamarind is the fruit of the tamarind tree. They are pods that contain pulp and seeds. The sweet or sour (or a mixture of sweet and sour) pulp is eaten. The seeds are made into a puree. And depending on the region, they even eat the leaves, like a salad.
"Tamarind is not a vegetable or fruit to bite into" so I meant it like this: even if the pulp is used for the paste and it is a fruit, no one bites into it like a banana😁 So don't use it as a "typical" fruit but as a seasoning in sauces because it is very special and strong😅
That's right. 😂 🙂 It's more for seasoning.
