Tell me, what kind of fruit from Sri Lanka?
They are sold there as local seeds. Round, brown velvet skin, about 1 cm in diameter. Edible internal pulp that envelops a small bone. It tastes like a vitamin. The whole Google was rummaged.

Greta211, this fruit is called Tamarind. This name was written to me in a notebook by the staff of the hotel where I recently rested when I showed them this fruit. I also tasted it, it really reminds me of a vitamin.

This is most likely tamarind (they just taste like a vitamin, they also make liquorice from them)

If the round is most likely something from the lychee family, longan, maybe, but 1 cm ... is somehow not enough.

Pachok, this fruit is not a lychee or a longan. Or do you think that the local population of SL does not know what they call it? Is it tamarind (Tamarind) or a variety of it.

I forgot to add that I tried both lychee and longan and I know how they look. And I bought tamarind in Galle, a bag cost 100 rupees, they sell it in paper bags, like seeds. I understand that this tamarind outwardly does not fit the description that they give on the net, but not to believe the hotel manager, I simply have no reason.

Tamarind certainly grows in pods, but it is not sold in pods. They generally bring it pressed here (along with the bones), we prepare a cool drink from it to freshen up in the heat - that's it!

Alas, this is not tamarind or lychee. These little things with tails are like grapes, that is, they grow on their own, not in a pod. It looks like a longan in shape, but the inside is not juicy, but looks like compressed cotton wool. Lychee - definitely not.

Unfortunately, I also could not find the name, but I could not have come up with a better description. I'm also looking, but so far without results ((((Greta211, maybe you already found the answer?))
