Product Description
Size: 1 pack
Tamicon paste tamarind concerntrate, also called tamarind paste, is a pure concentrate of tamarind. Although tamarind contains natural sugar, it also contains 12% tartaric acid, which makes it extremely tart. It is a souring agent commonly used in Indian curries and chutneys, and is also popular in Thai, Mexican and Mediterranean cooking. In the West Indies, where tamarind also grows, it is used frequently in fruit drinks. Tamarind makes a great secret barbeque sauce and marinade ingredient.

I use a tablespoons or two of tamarind paste in Indian and Thai dishes - it adds a distinctive sour flavor to Asian dishes. Tamicon brand tamarind paste is concentrated and keeps for up to 6 months in the fridge after openingm making it a good bargain here on Amazon.
It's very sour, so don't eat it out of the container. It's meant to be added to other foods.

I've been eating tamarind and tamarind paste since I was 3 years old, I ordered this product and was really excited to taste it. My tamarind paste came in the mail today, and once I put it in my mouth I thought I was going to throw up. Honestly this is the worst tamarind paste I had ever tasted in my life :(

I needed tamarind to make a copycat version of the Cheesecake Factory avacado dipping sauce. This wasn't the exact product called for, however it was great. I couldn't tell the difference between my version and the original. Anyone who needs Tamarind flavoring should use this product without hesitation!

Tamarind (imili in Hindi, puli in South Indian languages) is one of the spices used for sour taste in Asian cooking. It comes from a tropical tree. The fruit grows in a pod, the leaves of the tree are also sour. It is best to handpick the tamarind right from the tree, but when it is not possible, the paste will do well. The advantage is that the cook does not have bother with the pod, seed or the fiber (the fiber and seed are foods, too). One teaspoon of the paste will suffice for a half gallon curry. The paste can be added toward the end of the cooking, after other ingredients are well-done. The paste is time-saving, and almost as good as fresh tamarind.

Exactly what it says it is. Tastes (and looks) like beetle dung until you use it in something and then it is truly wonderful.

I've been using this tamarind paste for a couple years and I will keep using it because I love it. I've used other forms of tamarind but they usually contain pieces of the tamarind seed and it's difficult to remove the hard chunks. Sometimes I buy tamarind in blocks and it not only has seed chunks but it is also very hard. Tamicon tamarind paste is smooth with no seed chunks, and it's soft so I can easily use a measuring spoon to scoop some out of the jar. I love using it to make Pad Thai for dinner. Quick and easy.

YUM
I love tamarind, and had been looking for a good brand. This one is tangy and tart as it should be, and a nice consistency for adding to marinades and soups.

Not much different
I am sure this is good quality tamarind, but since I haven't used it before, it is hard for me to judge. Not sure that I will order it again though. Read more

These are SIX-OUNCE jars, not 8 oz.
This product comes from a part of the world where truth-in-labeling is not a tradition. The jars about about 6 oz, not 8 oz as stated. Read more
