Tambourine leaves offer various health benefits, including acting as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, supporting digestion, and aiding in the management of diabetes and high cholesterol.

Traditionally, they've been used for treating conditions like malaria, jaundice, and menstrual cramps, and as a source of vitamins and minerals.

Culinary suggestions...

Dried tambourine leaves are used to add a sour, tangy flavour to dishes like curries, dals and chutneys, acting as a souring agent and garnish. They can also be ground into a paste, dried and powdered for year-round use, or re-hydrated in hot water and strained to make a sour yet healthy tea.
