      RETVRN to the old school quack method where you randomly decide that your incredibly picky food preferences are actually the secret diet to be immortal/not get cancer/be very straight until you die of malnutrition at age 35

      I think this is a bit account trying to get people to shit themselves lmao

      https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-819/tamarind#overview

      People use tamarind for dry eye, constipation, parasite infections, early orgasm (premature ejaculation), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.

      A true supplement bro would never recommend Kuinone without vitamin D.

            Unironically me and my former roommate. He was a body builder and every shit he took was a fight for his life. The smell was horrendous if I walked past the bathroom afterwards and sometimes the sounds heard from that bathroom made me genuinely concerned. I on the other hand, being vegan, have relatively comfortable shits and do in fact consume a decent amount of soy. Our body types are also very fitting for this analogy, I am very twink shaped and he’s genuinely huge.

        I only know about its culinary uses: unripe tamarinds are made into a paste that’s used in seasoning sauces and IIRC curry pastes, and ripe tamarinds are eaten as a snack wherever they grow. If anyone’s wondering, the ripe ones look like cat shit, have large seeds and lots of thick fibers running through them, have a disconcerting consistency, and taste sort of like rose hips (alternatively, they taste like what cured tobacco smells like it should taste like). They’re actually pretty good if you can get past how gross they look and how awkward it is to eat around the inedible parts. Alternatively, if you make the ripe ones into paste you can make a decent makeshift rose hip soup (a traditional scandinavian drink) by boiling some starch in water and mixing the sweet tamarind paste into that (it’s at least in the right ballpark for flavor and consistency imo, and pretty decent if you want a thick, creamy tasting drink that’s lightly sweet).
