Thai Wet Tamarind Pulp Block Seedless Cock Brand 16 Oz.(Pack of 2)

I've liked tamarind ever since my mother brought me some when I was growing up in NYC. She would buy both sweet and sour boxes of tamarind. Back then they didn't sell the convenient wet blocks that are sold today. I've brought several different brands of tamarind on Amazon & I've come to the conclusion that this brand is one of the best. The tamarind wet block rarely contains any seeds or string. It does contain what appears to be the pod shell particles but regardless it's clean enough that I freeze it and cut it into small candy like pieces so that once in a while I'll pop one in my mouth for an all natural sour fix. I use it for cooking, juices and frozen ice's. I usually put it in luke warm water & then I strain it to remove all the particles. It does take some work but its well worth the effort. I consider this tamarind to be authentic the taste is amazing & I highly recommend it.

I like this better than the concentrate. Yes, it requires work, but this is what tamarind should taste like.

really good. 2 pounds. I was a little worried about the way it was cleaned and packaged. so, I crushed everything in a big pot and took out left over seeds and skin, which is just a little, and boiled with enough water so that it would not burn but enough to purify it. I felt safe getting rid of the impurities. I really enjoy it. The consistency is not watery because it thickens. I really like it. I recommend it. the truth is, I really dont cook with it, I eat it by the spoonfuls. TART. and a natural laxative.

Item as described, fast shipping. A+++

Not sour enough for asian soup dish, and if you add more it makes the soup too thick.

The description says it's seedless. Well, I found several seeds in my pack along with what appeared to be pieces of pods. Once you get all the forgien chunks out it was good.

P65 cancer warning not mentioned at checkout but there us a cancer warning label on the item.Also the description says it is seedless and you can see it has seeds.

After making my own paste, I'll never go back. Just boiling water, a tablespoon and a strainer and best pad Thai ever!
