Xanadu of Dragonsweyr Got It Wrong
This product is not supposed to be popped in your mouth and chewed without cooking. You're supposed to use it to prepare tamarind water for use in a sauce -- think of it as sort of a sweet-and-sour replacement for sugar + vinegar (but fruitier). It works just fine when you break off a chunk, put it into a saucepan with a cup or two of water, boil it for a few minutes,...

"Seedless" Claim Is Inaccurate
I purchased two packages of this product, but have only opened one of them. Not only did this package contain seeds, but the seeds have been sliced and broken up into small sharp pieces that may harm one's esophagus and/or intestinal tract if swallowed. The only way to eat the tamarind is to hold a small amount in your mouth without swallowing, and allow your saliva to...

This review is from: Seedless Tamarind (Misc.)
I purchased two packages of this product, but have only opened one of them. Not only did this package contain seeds, but the seeds have been sliced and broken up into small sharp pieces that may harm one's esophagus and/or intestinal tract if swallowed. The only way to eat the tamarind is to hold a small amount in your mouth without swallowing, and allow your saliva to loosen the tamarind while your tongue locates the pieces of seeds so you can remove them with your fingers. Only when you're sure all pieces of seed have been removed should you begin chewing the tamarind. I gave this product a "1" rating but only because I wasn't allowed to give it a "0".

It works just fine when you break off a chunk, put it into a saucepan with a cup or two of water, boil it for a few minutes, and STRAIN it through a sieve into whatever sauce you're preparing. Thicken it with cornstarch and it makes a wonderful sauce for pork. I use it frequently and it's just fine. A good product if you take it for what it is. It's not candy.
