Yes, you can definitely eat sweet tamarind. I ate it in both my pregnancies to curb sour cravings and had zero issues. Just don't overdo it because of the sugar and acid content.
Yes, sweet tamarind is safe to enjoy in small amounts, and the vitamin C is actually quite good. After going through IVF, I was very protective of my diet, so I always washed it thoroughly and ate just one or two pieces.
