From Wiki:

The tamarind tree produces brown, pod-like fruits that contain a sweet, tangy pulp, which is used in cuisines around the world. The pulp is also used in traditional medicine and as a METAL POLISH........

citric acid is a great brass polish, and good for cleaning corroded contacts ... plus lots of other stuff ... oh yeah, and good for adding acidity during cooking ...

LOL...I’m scanning down reading the left side of my screen and saw your “POLISH” by itself. I thought “Yum!” Pierogis flavored with Tamarind.
