Dried Tamarind Slices (Asam Keping)

Dried Tamarind Slices (Asam Keping) is thin, sun‑dried slices of tamarind commonly used in Southeast Asian cooking as a souring agent and snack; it appears in Malaysian and Indonesian cuisines as asam keping or asam gelugur. It lends a tangy, slightly fruity acidity to soups, curries and sauces and is often rehydrated or steeped to release its flavor. Nutritionally, Dried Tamarind Slices (Asam Keping) is low in fat and provides notable amounts of minerals such as magnesium and iron, but it also contains naturally concentrated sugars — 38.8g per 100g — so it contributes sweetness as well as acidity. From a health perspective it supplies useful dietary fiber and minerals while being low in fat; however it is not a significant source of protein. Because of its concentrated sugars, use it sparingly when adding tang to dishes or choose fresh/unsweetened alternatives if you want the same flavor with less sugar.Read more
