KUDAMPULI, ALSO CALLED MALABAR TAMARIND, IS A MAGICAL FRUIT THAT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL PUMPKIN AND RANGES IN COLOUR FROM GREEN TO PALE YELLOW. THE SCIENTIFIC NAME OF KUDAMPULI IS GARCINIA CAMBOGIA. THIS FRUIT HAS MANY IMPORTANT HEALTH AND MEDICAL USES. SOUTHEAST ASIA, INDIA, AND AFRICA ARE THE MAIN PLACES WHERE IT IS GROWN. DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE FRUIT AND ITS EXTRACTS CAN BE USED TO MAKE DIFFERENT FLAVOURS, AND IT HAS ALSO BEEN USED FOR A LONG TIME TO TREAT A WIDE RANGE OF ILLNESSES. MOST OF THE TIME, THE FRUITS ARE DRIED AND USED IN COOKING. WHEN THEY ARE DRIED, THEY LOOK ALMOST BLACK. KUDAMPULI HAS A UNIQUE SHARP SOUR TASTE.
