Why Filipinos Love Tamarind Leaves

Tamarind is a staple in Filipino cuisine, often used in its fruit or paste form, but the young leaves offer a milder, more herbal sourness. Traditionally, Filipino households use fresh tamarind leaves picked straight from backyard trees, but Khampouk’s preserved version offers convenience without compromising flavor. This ingredient is deeply associated with home-cooked comfort foods, making it an essential part of authentic Filipino dishes.
