Tamarind paste is a significant source of tartaric acid.

Tartaric acid is one of the principal acids found in tamarind, contributing to its characteristic sour taste.

Lemon juice and orange juice are rich in citric acid. Vinegar primarily contains acetic acid. Tartaric acid is also found naturally in grapes, bananas, and citrus fruits, but tamarind contains particularly high concentrations. It is also used as a food additive (E334) for its antioxidant and acidic properties.
