How nice it is to be able to get a block of tamarind through Amazon. I remember a number of elaborate bus/walking excursions in years past to obtain the stuff.
Anyway, what we have here is basic wet tamarind, which is to say that it has the consistency of very stiff clay or plasticine. To use, you tear off a hunk, steep it in very hot water for at least 15 minutes, mash it up, then squeeze through a fine-mesh strainer (scraping the underside of the strainer, because a lot of pulp will stick to the bottom). The straining isn't optional, because "seedless" is a term of art here; it doesn't mean literally no seeds, and it certainly doesn't mean no stems or twigs.
Bottom line: I've used this in several recipes, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Recommended.

Great taste. I have a hard time finding this product where I live. I love to add it to soup or even some stews I make, Adds a wonderful flavor and aroma to food. I also like the wet vs. the dry , because it melts into the sauce or broth easier.

This product is the Bomb! I have used tamarind in the shell before to make my tamarind wings and it was good but did not have the zing that was needed for the taste I was looking... Read more
