It's a plant that isn't very common here, but its fruits are incredible, especially when used to make juice

Yesterday, when we visited one of my wife's cousins, we also took the opportunity to see her property. Beforehand, we stopped by one of her uncles' houses, and I was quite surprised to find a plant that produces some rather unusual fruits for us here, but which are very tasty and used to make juices. We call it "Chinese Tamarind" here (if it has a different name in your country, please leave it in the comments section). It's a small plant, but the important thing is that despite going through a severe drought, it's bearing fruit.
Another detail that makes it all even more incredible is its location in a rather unusual spot. It grew right where their car is currently parked, and there's also construction sand there, as they plan to expand their house later when they have a little more money. I also want you to take a close look at the plant's main root, which is protected by a used rubber ring to prevent damage, which they may have forgotten to remove.
Here in these other photos, you can clearly see how the "Chinese Tamarinds" haven't grown much yet, but they are slowly but surely ripening on the plant until the perfect time to harvest them. Perhaps in another post, I'll show you the harvesting process and what we can do with them, although, as I mentioned before, they're much better in juice.
And so, this concludes my post here for the #hivegarden community, where I've shown you how some fruits, while not common to us, can be very useful in any preparation or even for eating directly.
