Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tamarind
Metabolic Effect: Tamarind provides rapid energy due to its high carbohydrate content. Thanks to its fiber content, it regulates digestion and provides a feeling of satiety.
Consumption Recommendation: It can be consumed directly with its sweet and sour taste or used as a sauce in meals. Overconsumption should be avoided, especially diabetics should be careful.
Things to Consider: Portion control is important due to its high sugar content. Excessive consumption can raise blood sugar quickly. 100 grams of tamarind is equivalent to about a handful of sweets.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of tamarind, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40 minutes. This helps to increase the daily activity level.
