Product Description:
HNG Exports, based in Nawanshahr, Punjab, India, is a reliable Exporter, Supplier, and Trader of high-quality Tamarind Seed Powder, commonly known as Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP). This versatile powder is derived from the de-husked and finely milled kernels of the Tamarindus indica tree’s seeds. Once considered a mere by-product, TKP has gained significant recognition as a functional ingredient across various industries due to its unique polysaccharide content, particularly Xyloglucan, which imparts excellent gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties.
We meticulously source our tamarind seeds from reputable tamarind processing units across India. Our manufacturing process for TKP involves careful selection of quality seeds, thorough cleaning, decortication (removal of the hard outer brown testa), and then fine grinding of the white/off-white kernels. This ensures a consistent, pure, and high-quality powder, free from impurities and adhering to stringent FSSAI and international export standards.
