Fresh Jalebi Imli (Manila Tamarind / Madras Thorn)
Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your source for unique, indigenous Indian fruits. We proudly export Jalebi Imli, a twisted, spiral fruit that resembles the famous Indian sweet "Jalebi." Known for its sweet, tangy, and slightly astringent taste, this fruit is a nostalgic delicacy for the Indian diaspora and a growing exotic snack in global markets.
We specialize in sourcing the premium "Red/Pink Pulp" Variety from Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Unlike the wild white variety which can be dry, our selected pods are fleshy, juicy, and bursting with flavor.
To help international buyers and botanists identify this fruit, here are the common global terms:
English: Manila Tamarind, Madras Thorn, Monkeypod
Hindi: Ganga Imli, VilayatiImli (), Jalebi
Tamil: Kodukkapuli
Spanish: Guamchil (Popular in Mexico)
Thai: Makham Thet
Retail Category: "Exotic Pods" / "Nostalgic Fruits"
There are two main types: White (often dry/tasteless) and Red (Sweet/Juicy).
Our Selection: We exclusively source the Pink/Red Aril variety. These pods look beautiful and have a much higher sugar content than the wild green ones.
Maturity Index: We harvest only when the pod naturally splits open on the tree. This "dehiscence" is the sign that the fruit has reached peak sweetness.
Sorting: We manually remove any dried-out or insect-damaged pods, packing only the fleshy spirals.
Raw Snack: Eaten straight out of the pod (discarding the black seeds).
Curries: In South India and Mexico, it is used in tangy curries and chutneys.
Immunity: Extremely rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants.
Gut Health: Traditionally used to treat digestion issues.
Air Cargo: We strongly recommend Air Shipment for this product. While the outer shell is tough, the inner pulp can dry out if kept in transit for too long.
Packing: We pack loosely in ventilated boxes to prevent heat buildup.
