SUPER CHEF TAMARIND DRY 1KG
Tamarind is a plant of the Legume family. The fruits are also called "Indian date". The homeland of this plant is considered to be East Africa. Today, tamarind can be found almost throughout tropical Asia. In wild form, this fruit can be found only in Sudan. The fruits are bent pods that are pointed towards the end. Under the thin brown-brown skin there is a pulp and dense brown seeds. Tamarind contains a large amount of thiamines – vitamins that are needed for the transmission of nerve impulses, as well as for the normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system. In addition, these nutrients have a positive effect on the digestive system. Tamarind also contains a large amount of potassium, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the heart and smooth muscles. In addition, the fruit contains iron, which is necessary for faster and more efficient delivery of oxygen to the cells of the body.

Durrell Lawrence Bitter Lemons of Cyprus
Cyprus, 1953. As the island fights for independence from British colonial rule, ancient conflicts between Turkish and Greek Cypriots trouble the glittering Mediterranean waters. Into the brewing political storm enters Lawrence Durrell, yearning for the idyllic island lifestyle of his youth in Corfu. He settles into a dilapidated villa, and with his poet's eye for beauty - and passable Greek - vividly captures the moods and atmospheres of island life in a changing world. Whether collecting folklore or wild flowers, describing the brewing revolution or eccentric local characters, Durrell is a magician with words: and the result is not only a classic travel memoir, but an intimate portrait of a community lost forever.

Fermor Patrick Leigh The Violins of Saint-Jacques
Patrick Leigh Fermor's first and only novel. On an Aegean island one summer, an English traveller meets an enigmatic elderly Frenchwoman. He is captivated by a painting she owns of a busy Caribbean port overlooked by a volcano, and, in time, she shares the story of her youth there in the early twentieth century. Set in the tropical luxury of the island of Saint-Jacques, hers is a tale of romantic intrigue and decadence amongst the descendents of slaves and a fading French aristocracy. But on the night of the annual Mardi Gras ball, catastrophe overwhelms the island and the world she knew came to an abrupt and haunting end. The Violins of Saint-Jacques captures the unforeseen drama of forces beyond human control. Originally published in 1953, it was immediately hailed as a rare and exotic sweep of colour across the drab monochrome of the post-war years, and it has lost nothing of its original flavour.
