The short version
Garcinia cambogia is a small tropical fruit shaped like a mini pumpkin, sometimes called Malabar tamarind. The sour rind is the part that goes into extracts.
Where it is from
The trees grow in South and Southeast Asia, and cooks there dry the rind to add a tangy note to curries. The rind holds hydroxycitric acid, usually written as HCA.
What the label says
