Tamarind is a fruit that is popular in the foods of Southeast Asia, North Africa and India.
I have discovered a simple tea that brings tremendous relief to gallstone pain and is an all-around healthy drink to boot. Flaxseed Tea. All you have to do is get your hands on a bag of golden flax seeds from the healthfood store. I found adding a stick of cinnamon while it steeps adds a nice flavor.
Went and checked Mayo Clinic and some other flax seed sites. Mayo said stored refrigerated for 3 months.. Then I did the taste test with my frozen ground flax (let warm up) and freshly ground flax. They tasted the same.
