The flavor of the fruit is similar to tamarind, where it derives its English name. In Thai, it is called ("Luk Yee") or ("Yee"), and in Malaysia it goes by the name of "Keranji". The fruit is used as a candy-like snack food in Thailand, often dried, sugar-coated and spiced with chili. The dried fruit has a powdery texture, and is orange in color with a tangy flavor.

Each fruit typically has one hard, flat, round, brown seed, typically **8 millimeters across and 3 millimeters thick. The seed somewhat resembles awatermelon seed (Citrullus lanatus). Some have two seeds. The seeds are shiny, coated with a thin layer of starch.

The pulp is red, with a sweet-sour, astringent flavour similar to baobab, but sweeter. It is peeled and eaten raw; it can be a little constipating. The thirst-quenching, refreshing fruit pulp can also be soaked in water and drunk as a beverage. Leaves are bitter; they may be used to cook domoda, a Ghanaian dish that tastes both sweet and bitter.

Animals which like to eat the pulp in which the seeds are embedded help disperse the fruit. However, the fruit can also be transported by water since it floats; transport by sea currents may lead to long-distance dispersal.(Wikipedia)
