Description
Our organic tamarind paste is a puree made with the fruit of the tamarind tree. These beanlike pods contain a dark brown fibrous, sticky fruit that becomes sweeter as it ripens.
Our tamarind paste is a puree made with less ripe pods, making it perfect for adding a sour and tart punch to chutneys, curries, sambhars, marinades, stir-fries, and noodle dishes like pad thai. Just use it straight from the jar, no extra work needed!
Other brands of tamarind concentrate are frequently watered down and mixed with preservatives and pickling agents like sodium benzoate and citric acid. Not ours! We are proud to provide you with 100% pure tamarind puree with absolutely nothing else added.
The sour taste in tamarind comes from tartaric acid. The acidity means that tamarind can be used much like citrus in cooking.
In India, tamarind concentrate is used to add sourness to curries. In Thai or Chinese cuisine, it’s added to hot-and-sour soups. In the Middle East, it’s used to make many refreshing summer drinks, or simply eaten raw.
